One other thought: what happens when /boot is on the same file system as

Copied as far as I know. Yes it's slightly inefficient, but worrying
about that case (which isn't default at all) seems kind of pointless.
Hmm. If don't know off the top of my head if Fedora cloud images have a
separate /boot or not, but disk space is a big concern in such
environments.
You could also argue simplifying package maintenance and sysadmin stuff is a
big concern for throw away cloud images. ;-) With a change like this you
could almost throw away /boot and regenerate it on the fly. :-)
invalid argumentation because if you follow that statement you could say
"throw away all computers at all"
but to keep on topic: copy the kernel files to the system partition
perverts the recent improvement of kernel-core / kernel-modules
As I stated in another thread, it is hard to know what interesting things
you could do with this approach if you don't play around with it.
interesting things?
boot don't need to be interesting
it needs to be relieable and the sepearte /boot makes it so
otherwise some dist-upgrades over the years would have been impossible
and yes i maintain some dozen production machines installed in 2008 with
Fedora 9 now running Fedora 21 without re-install
Maybe if you detect /boot is on the same partition as /usr you go completely
nuts and symlink the kernel images to the /usr/lib/modules ones (or maybe
just /lib if /lib/modules hasn't moved to /usr/lib/modules yet)
UsrMove was long ago
