Has the 10.8.3 Disk Utility been updated to support Fusion drives?

Someone who has updated on older machines, with or without FD, please check the vers.
I have a 2011 Mac Mini which I updated to 10.8.3. The Disk Utility shows as Ver. 13 (444) after the update.
I have a SSD and Hard Disk (non-Fusion) in this Mini, and the updated Disk Utility is not attempting or suggesting that I repair the Fusion drive. This was a DIY addition since the Mini did not come with SSD or Fusion drive. I have, however, had this Mini configured as a DIY Fusion several times in the past, so if there are any "hidden markings" stored on the disk which might trigger the Fusion repair, they are not doing so.
I'm a little confused now After I've been running my DIY FD a couple of months now, I wonder if I'm actually running a "cold fusion" FD.
I'm on a Late 2009 i7 iMac with a 2TB HD and a Samsung 830 256GB SSD.
I created my FD on 10.8.2 using the terminal, and everything seems to work fine (or is it?). I have a full Superduper backup, so the question is if it's worth giving the method mentioned in the link below a try?
He states that only the full 10.8.3 installer will give you the necessary software to create and run a "real" FS. (I've upgraded to 10.8.3, but that shouldn't make a difference)
Any opinions?

Thanks. I'll give it a try. No big deal to do a migration from my Superduper clone.
Do I have to split/erase etc. my old DIY fusion drive before creating the new one from the USB stick, or can I just jump to the terminal and start creating the new FS drive following the instructions?
Well ... if you want to do it totally per their instructions, I would start from scratch to be sure:
You will have to go into terminal and split the current Fusion drive (2 terminal commands) which will revert back to 2 separate, formatted drives ... then re-build the Fusion drive just as you did the first time.
Now I've split and recreated a Fusion Drive from a fresh copy of the 10.8.3 ML installer and installed a fresh copy of ML 10.8.3.
I still get 2 identical HDs to boot from when I start with the alt key like before (a lot of reports about this). Everything works fine (like before)
Going to do a migration tonight, hopefully I can do a compare/test when the migration has finished tomorrow morning.
Can't figure out why 2 HDs show up? Maybe it has something to do with apples special firmware, they use in their SSDs?
I'm on a late 27" 2009 iMac.
I also have 2 drive icons at the "alt key" startup and selecting either one will boot the computer normally. You should only see a single Fusion drive when in OS X, including in the Preferences/StartUpDisk menu.
Sounds like your installation is working normally ...

Nobody tried?
Anyone with a Macbook Pro 8,2 up to trying with 10.8.3?
Bumping this ^
