A simple one-time forwarding-configuration file pointing to the /boot volume UUID, permits configuration files to be written somewhere on /boot, which can then be md raid1 or btrfs raid1 based. Boot is made more resilient whether single or multiple disk. This works today on BIOS, but not on UEFI.

Why not also extend this to /boot also? It's "rarely" used in day to day
on a system, really only for yum updates that include a kernel.
