This is true.

No, not yet.

No.

It's on our todo list, but until there was demand for it we were
getting other things done.  I can say that it will not be a supported
configuration by CORAID for various defensive reasons.  If you go down
this path you'll be the first to find any quirks, and more or less left
to resolve them on your own.
