Or doesn't work, as the case may be. I'm just making a request,
something that I really think should have been included ages ago if
Debian wants to be seriously considered beyond hobbyists. No need to
get into a snit and make personal attacks for some one making a
request
for a feature. Debian has many many many fantastic virtues... being
attacked by people for pointing out glaring omissions and saying "hey
guys, you really should do this if you want to be taken seriously" is
NOT one of them.
If something is not getting any attention, then it probably means that
not
enough people with the appropriate technical skills give a shit about
it.
This is usually a good barometer of whether something is useful to the
established masses of serious users or not.
If you care about it, then you are the logical person to work on those
features. I think other people have already told you this.
No one works on things they don't care about - you get very bad output
if
you are 'forced' to do something you don't want to do.

No it is not a "shame". I maybe overreact because I'm not a native
speaker but calling this a "shame" as
we call this in french "c'est une honte" is needlessly aggressive,
especially to people who are currently doing other work on Debian
Installer even for getting it install on that old Sinclair.
You may regret this, for sure. But, well, this is the way Debian
works
for years : things are done when someone has enough interest AND
skills AND time for doing them.
So, sorry to say this, but if software RAID is that important for you
that the world should stop if you don't have it....make all your
possible for finding someone to do it.
*this* is definitely the way Debian works.
