Unless you want to discuss why you needed a separate /boot partition. Yes, I would like to know that.
It's a common safety mechanism so that '/boot' can be excluded from any partition/file system optimization standard maintenance routines that reduce file fragmentation. While specific files can be marked for non-optimization, it seems having a separate "boot" partition is a small price to pay for having a file system that can remain untouched during normal operations. Who knows, it might be a good candidate to use for an emergency recovery partition (like what might be contained on a separate DVD) so that for most recoveries, scrambling for a DVD compatible with your latest OS would be unnecessary.
