i do not believe you would have any advantage in stacking md above lvm
anyway.
That is right. In fact it sounds downright risky to me.
I've actually considered a few times how one might be able to merge the
md functionality into LVM2 (device-mapper) for having software-RAID
part of the logical volume system (since a software-RAID partition is a
logical volume of another type anyway).
It would require some significant effort, but it seems doable.
