Right, that's been a sort of painful transition, which is one reason
why preupgrade isn't as "official" as it should someday be.

Now Fedora by default installs a 500 MB /boot, which should be
sufficient for the foreseeable future.  (Admittedly in free software,
things change rapidly so the horizon of "foreseeable" isn't as long as
you might find in crustier realms.) ;-)
