I think that is the saner approach anyway :-)Most LiveCD distros (at least thos of which I am aware, like Knoppix) have no support for LVM. Additionally, I know that other tools like Tom's RootBoot certainly don't have the room. Thus, if you go all the way as far as having your / and /boot on LVM, then you are likely to not be able to get to them with a commonly used rescue tool.
Now, if it comes to recovering something like an entire filesystem on a LV, or something like that, then you may be out of luck. But at least you will be able to access the basic parts of your system in the case of a problem.
