Hardly. mdadm (aka Linux software RAID) was introduced in 2001, matured
quickly, and is rock-stable last 10 years.
LVM2's RAID implementation was added, like, 3-4 years ago (RHEL6 was
first to introduce it IIRC), and it still has its' share of bugs, such
as:

For me, the whole point of RAID (barring RAID0, of course), is to
protect one from the hard drive failure. If RAID implementation fails to
achieve such goal - said RAID implementation is useless.
