Yes, dracut has a similar module model, with the additional benefit is
that it's distro-independent (developed mainly by Fedora, but as you can
see we use it as well).

Raid-1 is already supported, the rest is true -- the historical
background is that up to recent we supported ppc, and used libparted to
detect partitions (which works with x86 and ppc partition tables as
well), but fails to detect LVM partitions. Now that we don't support ppc
anymore, this can be improved.
