What happens when the user upgrades their system, then? I'm not too 
knowledgeable about LVM-fu, but would updating the name that is on the 
volume group be troublesome?

distributions don't suffix their kernel naming, plus the user could always

The /etc/grub.conf file is nothing more than a symlink to the one contained 
in the /boot/grub directory.
