Right, they'd need to show up under an additionally enumerated (or mangled) "version name", if another segment (version) of the same array is allready running. For hot-plug management of segments to work, all segments however would need show up under their real array ID, if connected first or one at a time. Otherwise the system won't recognize the segment of the array as such and boot or open it correctly, and you won't be able to switch between versions by switching the disks that are connected.

However that is a differnt thing. That's creating new and different arrays. It is not managing segments of one array.
