Yes, the md-raid userspace tools (and kernel mechanisms for actually doing the RAID operations required to maintain the RAID guarantees on disk) are well maintained. But I don't know how well-maintained the *autoassembly* code in the kernel is. Or how likely it is to be ripped out, given the seemingly general agreement (at least AFAICT) that an initramfs is the right way to go for anything more complicated than a DOS partition table...
