Your choice is to use another distro. Redhat makes some packages (including kernel and gnome-session) depend on dmraid. Opensuse does not. You do realize that you can always modify any package you don't like, or even create your own distro, don't you? In my case I don't like the way /sbin/weak-modules work. So I just change it to work the way I want to by creating my own module-init-tools.
