I agree, but this would take a non-trivial effort to make happen.  I
hope you'll consider working on it or perhaps contributing resources to
fund the people who could do it.

The way I approached your initial challenge was to install everything to
a large, cheap SATA drive.  On the for-real drives I gmirror the root
partition, stripe swap and tmp, ran graid3 on /var and /usr, and then
dump | restored from the large/cheap drive to the array.
