If (unlikely) generations counter will ever wrap around, such logic may give a bit more reliable detection of the newest metadata copy. It is based on assumtion that all disk's metadata updated same time and should stay close and no disk should rejoin the array after being offline/failed/stale for more then half of generation counter wrap period. In last case this question just has no valid answer. END
