Trust me, I've been saying this a lot about user requests for esoteric features to the degree my eyeballs are getting sore from rolling so much. If I had a parrot, it would know 7 different inflections for saying WTF, and not the acronym.

Here's another one for you: RAID 0+1 as an install option instead of 10? Yes you could use 0+1 to do a three disk setup, that's the only thing it seems to bring to the table. e.g. stripe two SSD's, then mirror them with one suitably sized HDD? Why would you want to? You're too cheap to do a RAID 10 with four SSDs?
