The Fedora workstation livecd is the default Fedora variant getfedora.org advices people to download. As such most Fedora workstation installs will be done from the livecd. This means that any package which is part of the livecd will be part of the default install for most users.

Dmraid is 1 of only 2 packages in the default install which still Requires the long obsoleted systemd-udev-settle.service, which waits for all device-detection to be done + some extra waiting just to be sure. This significantly slows down booting on various systems.

Fedora only support these RAID sets when they are already configured in the BIOS at installation time. So we can solve the problem of dmraid-activation.service still depending on the obsolete udev-settle service by making dmraid-activation.service disable itself if no supported RAID sets are found on its first run.
