The reason for the 512 mb size of the ESP is because that is the minimum
size of a fat32 filesystem. While the UEFI standard requires firmware
to support fat16 as well, it has been observed that there are some
firmwares in the wild that do not. The size choice for /boot is a
difficult one as well: too large and people complain about the wasted
space, too small and it runs out faster, though you eventually will run
out anyhow. There was another bug report kicking around somewhere to
address this by automatically removing older kernels instead of piling
them up ad infinitude.
