It allows rolling back everything that was changed on the previous update, including the kernel and everything else in a single quick and easy operation. You may not like it, I don't, but it still is a brilliant feature. And the fact is, using a separate /boot partition breaks the feature. And Hongyi Zhao /is/ using btrfs, so let us not break it - unless he says he does want to break it, or explains that we have misunderstood. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
