IMO, the inconvenience this causes is outweighed by the prevention of data loss for people who otherwise would never have noticed the degraded array.

Right but if it's remote server you're fucked and you can't login on it to even assess what happened

This is why I want servers to always boot to an OS whenever possible. It's fine if production data is not available until someone fixes an array, but without the OS, it's a pain to even figure out what's happened, let alone fix it.

Don't servers tend to include some kind of out-of-band management like HP iLO, Dell iDRAC, or OpenBMC?

I think this is the difference in target audience - for home use, maybe I won't have monitoring, so it should fail to boot.

For enterprise, if you dont have monitoring setup it's on you
