So, in the non-autoconfig case, reading from "/etc/raidN.conf", the order of the
DISKS section matters only in the initial configuration ('raidctl -C ...') and in
subsequent configurations ('raidctl -c ...') the order doesn't matter anymore, just
which devices are to be used (so with editing, could go from wd0-3,5-8 to sd0-7
if moving from SATA to SAS, for example)?

That's not an issue here and even when Autoconfig was enabled on my RAID set,
it was simply 'raidctl -A on raid0'.  My RAID is just a datastore.
