I agree, but this would take a non-trivial effort to make happen. I hope you'll consider working on it or perhaps contributing resources to fund the people who could do it. The way I approached your initial challenge was to install everything to a large, cheap SATA drive. On the for-real drives I gmirror the root partition, stripe swap and tmp, ran graid3 on /var and /usr, and then dump | restored from the large/cheap drive to the array.
