Well it's not even supported by hand.  Anaconda flat out refuses to let 
you use it.  Even when I create the device by hand (be it by loading the 
raid10 module manually and doing mdadm, or by making 2 raid1's and 
putting a raid0 on top of them), anaconda just flat out refuses to see 
the final device.
