I suggest you go and read through the discussion again.  I gave you
plenty of information, mentioning LSI and hypervisors, for instance, and
even, as I grew increasingly frustrated by your stonewalling, showed you
how to inspect the code to confirm that most RAID drivers do not even
try to report a stripe size.  Meanwhile, you steadfastedly refused to
address my arguments, simply repeating your position again and again,
and insisting that the fact that you have never encountered any systems
that get the stripe size wrong (which I don't believe, but I'm willing
to believe that you've never noticed) invalidates the fact that I have.
Not to mention your steadfast defense of the non-existent purity of the
installer.  When Warner finally intervened, you switched to setting up
strawmen, asking me to pick and defend one of two positions which I've
never held.  I'm not going to play that game.

Likewise, but I'm not holding my breath.
