Ah, the grizzled vet angle. The bit about me being new to the web is particularly adorable, especially given that I prefaced it by referring to other people (ergo, there was no confusion). When you have many logical volumes suddenly you can make choices like "does this necessitate the extra protection of RAID-6, given the compromises"? And people are making that choice to this day, and no one is saying "Oh look, there's RAID-6 which is the newer version of RAID-5 so it's my default choice".
