Yeah, RAID 4/5/6 are planned for the future. The plan is to offer all of them and let developers choose what is the best practice for their application. RAID 0/2/3 are not CPU efficient, but are great for privacy and security. No cloud provider has the full picture and can't spy on your data and if they have a data leak it won't be anything useful. RAID 1 gives great fault tolerance with no extra latency (except on failures) and prevents vendor lock-in.
