Perhaps a documentation bug should be filed against the handbook or other gentoo doc explaining some of the security and other approaches and *why* various approaches are used with mounting strategies for /boot/ is warranted? That way, if folks miss it, we can just refer them to the docs and elaborate a bit. Me, I like to keep lots of kernels around for a variety of reasons. Maybe in the GSoC effort (Kernelconfig) is a better place to implement some explanation on the choices of what to do with /boot/ ? [1] Anyway, I'm glad to hear that all is fine now.
