There are no boot partitions.  To minimize partition proliferation I
include /boot in each partition with it's distro.  The one fake /boot
that holds grub does just that.  holds grub.  No kernels.

No big deal to you but that's a lot of work.  Every time a distro
updates a kernel it grabs all the other kernels and then you have to
clean out grub.  I personally would NOT share the boot partition for
this reason.  I have 5 distros installed and a lot of kernels.  YMMV

> The single *shared* /boot handles this nicely.

Humbly, I disagree.  The whole point of using GAG is to MINIMIZE the
amount of work I have to do to maintain or fix the system.  Again, the
reason I switched from grub.
