Arguments about which RAID setup is best aside I think it definitely
makes sense to support fake-raid out of the box if it's reasonably
easy to do so. If Fedora can do it so can we. It sounds like
low-hanging fruit.
Is fake-raid actually worse than software raid in any way? From what
I've heard it sounds like fake-raid is software raid except that the
configuration is stored in BIOS. Please don't answer that question -
it is purely rhetorical. No more flame wars.
In any case it isn't for us to force a user to either use software
raid or figure out fake-raid on their own. Software raid vs fakeraid
sounds like a completely philosophical choice. If the user is already
using fakeraid for whatever reason that's their business.
