They've provided a driver for their product (for a minority OS), and if we want to use a different one, it's really not up to them to support that choice. To be fair, I haven't looked at the ataraid kernel driver in detail yet, but I don't see why the array management stuff would need to be greatly different to the md driver (I could eb wrong - the devil is in the details). I can think of a few improvements, but it'll have to wait till I've got some time...
