--- Comment #16 from Bryn M. Reeves <bmr@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
> The reason I do it is because everything from EFI files (shim and grub2), GRUB

This isn't something that will happen soon, so it's really out of scope for
this review request, but in the future we would like to see a situation where
/boot is treated as a cache, and the corresponding packages install their files
to another location under the root file system.

There's actually some progress toward this in other distros, as well as other
boot management tools, but it's not something that the majority of
distributions are going to be able to switch over to in short order.

When /boot is viewed in this way the management of files there becomes much
easier and with less potential for conflict between multiple instances that are
sharing the same volume.
