I've discussed this with a few other engineers and it is to risky to push such change this close to release. There are a few things that are planned / needed to be done with "/boot" and we should target it at u-series. This is a valid bug report / request, but i'm targeting it at u-series for now.
We need to increase size of /boot, use ext4 (possible with journal, extents and huge file options disabled), remove need for /boot at all when one is using simple LVM volume group only. All of these changes are straight-forward, but can have impact on existing deployments and these are not features we'd be comfortable with deploying so late in the cycle, way past Feature Freeze.
