You should never use hardware raid, it just is a bad idea for so many reasons... WHAT! You do realize that many people use quite reliable hardware raid controllers don't you? To blatantly tell someone that hardware raid is bad is pure hogwash, especially coming from a kernel developer. There are very reliable SATA and SCSI controllers available that provide hardware raid without problems.
And I recommend that you, and everyone else, avoid them like the plague for the reasons pointed out by others already.
And I recommend that you first back up your claim with hard evidence. Until you do it is only your opinion. Software RAID can never be faster than "true" hardware RAID, it can only be as fast as the drives used. That's like saying a software modem is better than a hardware modem.
Linux does very good, and much faster, software raid today just fine, if you need RAID, stick with that.
