does final criteria #8 mean lvm-on-raid must be available?

I tried to make a mirrored /boot partition, and then a second mirrored
partition with an LVM volume group on top of that (including / and /home
partitions). The current UI doesn't offer this, although it was easy to do
in the old one.

I'm not exactly excited about holding things up further, but does this need
an exception to final release criterion #8:

  "The installer must be able to create and install to any workable
   partition layout using any file system offered in a default installer
   configuration, LVM, software, hardware or BIOS RAID, or combination of
   the above."

?

It seems like it does, but I think the wording is ambiguous. (What is
workable? What does "offered" apply to?)

Brian Lane notes that there's not enough time to re-add this feature:

Also, this is further complicated because LVM now has its own mirroring and
RAID features which could be used instead of the software raid (I think this
is what RHEL 6.3+ docs now recommend, in fact, but I'm not sure -- I'll
definitely defer to the storage experts on this).
