I wouldn't be snapshotting /boot at the same time as / if it weren't for the
fact that we deliberately install crap there. The reason I do it is because
everything from EFI files (shim and grub2), GRUB module files, to kernel
images, to stuff like this is being installed there, and the rpmdb isn't happy
when those files are "mysteriously missing" or "wrong".

You're right that this is a problem. I currently have the information on ESP,
but I don't like it there. It'd be cleaner if stuff wasn't getting installed
into /boot directly and everything in there was something that was recoverable
from the main filesystem. Then I could leave /boot alone.
