Agreed - I prefer to remain reliant on the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle for the boot devices.
We have HW RAID configured on a server and it removes the flexibility from your disks. Sometimes is can be uses full to be able to split a mirror and keep a copy while some work is on-going on a system disk.
Also, with SW mirroring, if you "urgently" need to borrow some disk space for something, you can split the mirror, use it and then reattach the mirrors afterwards.
