I fully agree. I think that the 8GB limit for /boot has been removed.
I recently installed FC1 with / (including /boot) > 10GB.

I always installed linux with one large partition ever since the 
limitation on
the boot code disk position was removed (a few years ago) and never felt
any need to do this otherwise.  My home machine now has one large 76Gb
ReiserFS partition as "/"  (and a 1Gb swap partition, just because I 
could afford
it).
The micro-management required to handle multiple partitions just never 
occured to me
as worthy the trouble it's supposedly trying to avoid.
As for the "you can always move directories around and sym-link them" - 
that's
the single most compelling argument AGAINST multiple-partitions, the 
spaghetti
you get on the filesystem can become a real nightmare.
