No, it's not just you. I upgraded my work PC yesterday from FC8 to F11.
I now see this problem.

I pick up my mail using imaps both locally and remotely. To me this
'error' does not seem like correct behaviour; there is no need to look
at /boot at all. There are no accounts there, and no need to trawl
through / or the root directories. As to why it is doing it I have no
idea, but I would agree that it should be reported as a bug until
someone comes up with an explanation for it. I'll mention it on the Exim
mailing list to see if anyone there has an idea. I'll see if I can run
something locally to debug this.
