/boot is specifically formatted with ext2 to maximize available
disk-space. As ext2 does not reserve space for journals, etc.
/boot is only used in lvm2/crypt setups. If you require for it to be
ext4, you can provide custom recipe to make sure it's formatted as
ext4 or upgrade to ext4 at post-install (e.g. by simply modifying
/etc/fstab and mounting it as ext4).
Are you sure that it's /boot that's causing problems? Because
ext2/ext3 are forward compatible, that is one can mount/treat it as if
it they were ext4. Thus it should not make any differences if
something is in fact ext2, 3 or 4 (especially for e.g. backup solution
which should access things read-only).
