I have two kernels in /boot at the moment, and that takes 32MiB.  My /boot 
partition is 200MiB, which is pretty generous as far as separate /boots go.  
That gives me room for 12 kernels.  I'm not sure many would have a /boot 
smaller than 100MiB, and can't see *anyone* partitioning a /boot to less than 
32MiB.  I don't think space is a concern when we're talking about 2-3 kernels 
(current, previous, and possibly a custom build.)
