I agree with @Jamiejellicoe this ticket should be rated as "Security issue" (250) but we are close that (236)...

Having /boot full can lead to kernel, inird image or grub.conf corruption and
on top of that it's blocking new security updates to be applied.

When /boot is full you cannot even purge old kernel before /boot has a minimum
disk space. So my workaround is to echo -n > /boot/initrd.img- some old kernel's inird images
so I have enough free space to cleanup old kernel, header, etc.
