I don't care about chainloading so much, but I want them all to
have independently owned and operated /boot partitions so I don't
have to fool with manually fiddling with the entries in a shared
/boot partition after updates and wot-not.

so I can't have enough "real" boot partitions to pair with my
LVM roots (you can put a lot of roots on a 500GB drive :-).

I'd be happy to be mistaken about all that though.
