/boot can't be on LVM. And these days you do want LVM.
Not everyone is happy leaving /boot mounted all the time.
Dual boot scenarios - it's much easier with a separate /boot.

The 1024-cylinder limit hasn't been an issue for over 10 years now, but 
it was never the only reason for a separate /boot.
