All Red Hat based installers for quite some time (3 or 4 years IIRC)
will default to using LVM for everything but the /boot partition. If you
want to go without LVM, you can choose to manually configure partitions
in the anaconda installer (and not do LVM) if that makes you feel
better.

I don't recall ever creating another /boot partition nor ever having a
reason to do so. What I am I missing from your question?
