This is
really just begging on your knees for the various distros to
stomp on each others bootloaders, or alternatively -- and just as badly
-- not update the bootloaders at all.
It is way more robust to let each distribution have its /boot and worry
about its own bootloader.

Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxxhttps://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-listI happen to run 4 linux distributions on a common computer. I have noted that each kernel has a identification, indicating distribution, version, and some other informations. The fear of name collision can easily be handled by agreements, such as
is done today.
A single boot partition will probably be installed on a separate SD, or could be integrated into the motherboard bios. The bios is a good place as the boot process is an infrequent activity. With UEFI, the bios boot partition makes sense to me.
