I would rather have functionality to convert raid10 to raid5.
raid1 should be depreciated, as raid10,n2 for all purposes is the same
but better implementation and performance, and raid10,f2 and raid10,o2
are even better.  Nobody should use raid1 anymore.

Complete ignorance of raid10 here, but is raid10,<anything> bootable, 
like raid1 is?  I use raid1 on my root and boot partitions.

Note: if you use an initrd you can get away with raid1 on only the boot 
partition (I do with Fedora/GRUB). And most "recovery CDs" will not use 
a raid10 swap without starting it by hand, important only on small 
memory machines.
