Name one.

I don't use a boot partition either, but maybe when the root filesystem is on LVM or encrypted or something like that?

May also be needed with some RAID modes.

Wrong again.

Must be new feature in grub.

How can you boot from raid 5, if the kernel is distributed on 3 disks, can not be found as a contiguous block anywhere?

You install stage1.5 (a.k.a core.img) on every disk.

Similarly for LVM.

Ditto.
