luks related change is prevented boots of system with encryption over raid

I rebooted this morning after pulling in some changes from last night (a mix of rawhide and koji updates) and my system was not booting.
I so far have noticed that the /dev/mapper/luks-8 naming format has changed and I think that is relating to my problems. I haven't gotten
things totally fixed, but i now have my file systems mount under /mnt/sysimage when rebooting. Hopefully now that the /dev directory is
there a new mkinitrd will clean things up.

I think using the luks ids in the names is a good idea, but it would have been nice to have something automatically handle the transition.
I haven't seen a big heads up about this and there probably should have been one. It also was a bad thing to change right before the freeze.
So far I have changed /boot/grub/grub.conf and /etc/fstab to use the new names. I'll report back again after hopefully finishing getting
things to work again.
