capacity limits shouldn't be a motivation for using a /boot partition.
However, a /boot partition can have other advantages. If you plan to use
something a bit out of the ordinary for your root file system, keeping
/boot separate and using a common file system insures that it'll be
easily accessible from a rescue CD.

I also seem to recall that at least GRUB is unable to boot off certain
partition/file system/software RAID types - for instance, you couldn't
have /boot on an LVM volume or a RAID stripe. I think GRUB has been
updated for it, but none of the distributions I use seem to make use of it.
