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?

Speak for yourself. libguestfs uses /boot/vmlinuz, as do other packages, as does anyone wanting to see how the kernel was configured, or to look at or change grub configuration, and so on.
