I considered doing this (one /boot partition ) a few weeks ago with 
Rawhide + FC-test, but I didn' t do it because I was concerned about 
what would happen when unistalling kernels with the same name but 
installed from different installations. Since the Fedora kernel naming 
scheme is different now, maybe it doesn't matter anymore. I'll have to 
check that too.
