That's true, in the situation where you want to use LVM on all
partitions, /boot may be useful.  For me, I just consider all of my
system partitions expendable.  I keep any important data on separate
partitions that can be mirrored.  If I'm worried about losing configs
in /etc or something, I just back them up to the mirrored set.  You can
also do full system mirrors without using LVM at all, so grub can boot
that fine.
