One of the motivations for UsrMerge is to have all read-only parts of the operating system in /usr. The kernel packages install files in /boot though which isn't in line with that idea.
Meanwhile I think all the files below /boot are part of the same state that is supposed to be within the single to-be-snapshotted subvolume. As such the entire directory should be moved to /usr. What would be the benefit to duplicate files like vmlinuz-version, xen.gz or grub2/* out of /usr back to /boot? Those who currently must use a dedicated /boot, because they have to use an incapable bootloader, could adjust their fstab and mount the thing on /usr/boot instead, and everything will likely continue to work for them. Such setups can not benefit from the single atomic snapshot anyway. Olaf
