I can see being even more screwed over by this. Especially if Joe Blow user
forgets to remount /boot before upgrading the kernel or reinstalling lilo.
Actually I can see a few pluses with having the kernel installed by default
right where it is now. The previously mentioned unmounted /boot partition.
/ always exists while /boot may not, which removes the need for checking
code as well as error recovery code in this area such as recreating /boot.
Consistancy, the kernel has been installing by default to / since ancient
"Linux" times.
