It still is.  What you're asking for is a mirrored master boot record
while mirroring partitions.  Grub has no knowledge of what software
mirroring you may be doing or if you even have any intention of booting
off a mirror member.

If you had a true hardware mirroring solution (RAID 5 for example),
you'd still be done in seconds.
