On the contrary, I am actively working on getting mdadm support for DDF into the main distributions. I was just wondering about your setup because as far as I know, no distribution enables mdadm support for DDF. Doing that requires changes in the distribution's udev rules, intrd/initramfs generation code, and installer. See my DDF page in the Linux RAID wiki for details.
