The typical complaint comes from trying to share data between Windows and Linux, where "just use md" isn't a solution. Without device mapper (another new feature) to enable dmraid, these users are just sorta S.O.L. I consider it not a new feature, but a missing feature, since otherwise user data cannot be accessed in the RAID setups.
