Since the reasons for "/boot" are obsolete since more than a decade, just go ahead.
--- The reasons for boot are obsolete? Since more than a decade ago? What were the reasons for boot being separate? As opposed to being a partition on "/" root along with /sbin/modprobe and /lib/modules? How does Windows boot supporting all the different hardware it does without a ramdisk, and why does linux need one? Window's Rescue Disk, these days, is usually a file (a WIM image) that is booted from the disk as well. Why are all the hw-specific modules and utils read from disk, into ram, then booted as another block device in memory? Why not just read the needed modules off disk and directly boot? Maybe a rescue disk might be a separately bootable image, but these days, in Windows, it is read out of a file.
