For FC7 would it be possible to give volume groups more descriptive names?
For instance instead of VolGroup00 could the volume group anaconda creates
be called FedoraCore7?
What happens when the user upgrades their system, then? I'm not too knowledgeable about LVM-fu, but would updating the name that is on the volume group be troublesome?

- As long as everybody includes a distribution prefix in the vmlinuz,
initrd ... like .fc6 there should not be any overlap of kernels.
Unfortunately, something like this is not to be expected (some distributions don't suffix their kernel naming, plus the user could always build their own kernel/initrd if they so chose).

- It looks like Fedora installs grub's configuration in /etc which makes it
particular to Fedora. Is it possible to move it into /boot as well so that
the same grub
  can be modified by any distribution?
The /etc/grub.conf file is nothing more than a symlink to the one contained in the /boot/grub directory.
