Ok, so what you're saying is, that the specific case of having /boot on softraid didn't work for you. I may have missed that clarification in your first email. I do find it odd because I constantly test scenarios where /boot is a small mirror and / is a large stripe and it seems to work every time for me, often starting from blank disks. I'll test that scenario again soon, maybe there is something I'm doing that you're not, or vice versa?
As I recall it, Jesse, Rudolf's right - there are known issues with having /boot on a soft RAID and that's why it's explicitly excluded from the release criteria. Unfortunately it's sufficiently long since FUDCon Toronto that I can't recall what the known issues were exactly, but anaconda team may.
