Not stunned, but certainly surprised. :) In that case, prepare to be surprised :-) Linux software raid does allow you to build a degraded raid - it's proven to be quite handy for the installation case outlined in the original mail; also being able to recreate raid superblocks WITHOUT starting an automatic resync can be an asset if something goes wrong with your raid configuration.
