While trying to sort out a customer issue I found that their sos report lacked information about configured MD arrays, ostensibly due to the mdadm package not being installed. Now why this package isn't installed by RHEL all the time is not clear to me, but my ask here is for it to be added to the sos package metadata as a dependency so that installing sos installs mdadm. This would seem to be the easiest way to do this.
