Now Fedora by default installs a 500 MB /boot, which should be
sufficient for the foreseeable future. (Admittedly in free software,
things change rapidly so the horizon of "foreseeable" isn't as long as
you might find in crustier realms.) ;-)
I believe a /boot partition became necessary in F11 because (I adopted Fedora with the 11 version):
Since Fedora uses LVM by default and GRUB doesn't support that either, in practice you will need to keep using the Ext3 filesystem for the /boot partition. This is the recommended setup and is how Anaconda sets it up by default. To prevent boot issues, Anaconda will not let you format a /boot partition with Ext4.
(...)
Note that Rawhide (and hence Fedora 12) will support Ext4 on the boot partition.

Isn't it now possible to revert to not using a /boot partition and having the full / space for installation?
