Thanks for the reply. Can you comment on your use cases - in
particular, did you use mirror, stripe, or raid5? If the first two
then gmirror, gconcat, gstripe, and/or graid are suitable
replacements.

I'm not looking to deprecate it just because it's old, but because of
a mismatch between user and developer expectations about its
stability.
