  Hello Abhishek and Phillip,

  I've discussed this with a few other engineers and it is to risky to
  push such change this close to release. There are a few things that
  are planned / needed to be done with "/boot" and we should target it
  at u-series. This is a valid bug report / request, but i'm targeting
  it at u-series for now.

  We need to increase size of /boot, use ext4 (possible with journal,
  extents and huge file options disabled), remove need for /boot at all
  when one is using simple LVM volume group only. All of these changes
  are straight-forward, but can have impact on existing deployments and
  these are not features we'd be comfortable with deploying so late in
  the cycle, way past Feature Freeze.

  Regards,

  Dimitri."
