It's a good point, but I think it's better addressed by having a 
"raid" man page that lists all the sw raid commands, whether they're 
md* or raid*. If the admin doesn't remember the name of the command, 
she's not likely to remember the options, and it's hard to do a man 
lookup on "raid-something". (Or has the Linux man command progressed 
beyond what I'm familiar with?)
