well ubuntu allows me to boot from MD RAID10...so there's something they are doing that allows that to boot.
That ubuntu version has probably switched to grub2. Good luck debugging it when it breaks - it is very different.
Plus it is very handy to have a /boot that is readable/mountable without LVM or MDRAID drivers loaded and configured.
/boot is only 256-512MB partition that is read only during boot and updated only when there is a new kernel, so it ain't no big thing. Even when RH goes to grub2 I think I'll keep this setup by default.
Don't make it less than 512M - we're debating between 512M and 1G here. Certainly, bleeding-edge fedora *needs* at least 256M *free* in /boot to do an upgrade in place, so I have to assume that's coming in the next few years for RHEL/CentOS.
