I believe I have seen this confirmed elsewhere. There could easily be support in some form or other that I don't know about, however. OTOH, I'm now forced to learn how to use the Linux tools (raidtools, mdadm) which is what I really want, and which Slackware is supposedly all about. That's good (going public domain) and bad (no edition 2) news about 'Managing RAID on Linux'. I don't know about sales, but the topic itself seems pretty important to me.
