A "bug" is a case where software does not work as intended, the behavior you 
don't like is a "design decision" in that the software works exactly as 
intended, but you you don't like it. This should have been a request for 
enhancement all along.

Since there is a general use for more ability to create custom raid arrays, the 
ability to use an existing array would be useful. I find it particularly vexing 
that whoever wrote the raid code did not understand the difference between 
raid-10 and raid-1+0 and insists that at least four drives are needed to support 
raid-10, and the number must be even.

So put this in as an enhancement request to use existing arrays, see if that 
goes anywhere.
