I mirror /boot and<swap> because if either is lost, the system dies. :) Imagine if something was in swap, then swap vanished, and then the system tried to retrieve what was in swap... Not so good. :P

You could use LVM to create LV for swap and root. Performs the same, plus you can resize them. Just make the PV the RAID set after /boot.

This is true. I wasn't, mainly, because I was using the remainder of the free space on the disks, post install, to create a DRBD device which clustered LVM sat on. Thought stacked LVM work, it pushed too far into "corner case" territory for my comfort level.
