hehe.. that's right, but if you look at my partitioning, there's a /boot2 partition on the second drive where I keep a copy of /boot.. even if master boot record is gone with /boot, with a grub cd of floppy I can always boot my system.
But then you have to make efforts to keep the two in sync. It entirely makes sense to have /boot on RAID1. I'd say it's all upsides over your solution, and no downsides.
