+  * Don't print 'errors' flag, it is meaningless. DONE
+  * Handle new superblock format
+  * create device file on demand, particularly partitionable devices. DONE

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+* mdadm --monitor to monitor failed multipath paths and re-instate them.
+
+* Maybe make "--help" fit in 80x24 and have a --long-help with more info. DONE

+* maybe "missing" instead of <bold>missing</> in doco DONE
+* possibly wait for resync to start, or even finish while assembling.- NO
+
+* -Db should have a devices= entry if possible. - DONE
+* when assembling multipath arrays, ignore any error indicators. - DONE
+* rationalise --monitor usage:
+     mdadm --monitor
+  doesn't do as expected. DONE
+
+* --assemble could have a --update option. - DONE
+  following word can be:
+       sparc2.2
+       super-minor
 
+* mdadm /dev/md11, where md11 is raid0 can segfault, particularly when looking in the 
+   [UU_UUU] string ... which doesn't exist !
+It should be more sensible.  DONE
