Re: ppc64el Trixie Alpha 1 /boot may be ext2 not ext4

Indeed we must make a trade-off between robustness (ext4 vs ext2), convenience (/boot in root filesystem vs small separate /boot) and compatibility with boot loaders. And I believe we can do it right at least for use cases we know about. You addressed the case of guided partitioning without LVM on ppc64el, why not do the same for guided partitioning without LVM ? Do you think that the robustness or convenience gain of not having a separate ext2 /boot partition is worth the loss of compatibility with Petitboot ?
I cannot judge on this, because it depends on, how much Petitboot
is used on that arch.
If it's only some few percent, you would force much other people to
a ext2 /boot without a reason.
And the same for arm64, if we roll back to ext2 there too.
I had hoped that the OP would give some statistics about this...
