I'm mainly suggesting a decoupling of all of this effort from an installation only context, so that it can be used to create and modify storage stacks without installing an OS. I don't particularly care how it manifests - separate app, or a spoke within the current app. Communicating the layout can be done with a fstab-like metadata file. If there's no inclination to do this for a much broader use case, then why wedge so much capability and effort into a narrow installer-only use case? Bootable raid6 and raid4??
