The original topic of the linux-raid discussion
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.raid/27822 suggested the idea to
detect diverted or segmented array parts by checking for superblocks
claiming each other as "failed". (The naming convention of that state is
actually a differnt topic
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.raid/27820) But Neil did not
respond yet.

It may be a feature only if it is not a bug for a raid system not to be
able to tell for sure if parts have been segmented/diverged (only
relying on a probability of an event count difference, and much worse if
a bimap is used.).
