I guess that counts as >a different weak point in the implementation :-) I'm not sure that this is a real problem. root is usually fairly small (although Solaris seems to be moving towards a combined root and /usr). The major reason (IMHO) for wanting to use volume management S/W on root is for protecting it against disk failure. There's not a great deal to be gained by striping it. Concatenating it could be useful (if you've under-dimensioned it), but it's not a major loss.
