We are already discussing this in your thread "Single root filesystem
evilness decreasing in 2010? (on workstations)", so no need to bring it
into mine ;)

And no, it wouldn't hurt, and you are welcome to have /boot as a folder
(instead of partition) into your filesystem. Probably many people
already do. Which is why I specifically mentioned in the first post in
this thread that I (possibly unlike most others) use a separate
partition for /boot. The reason being exactly that I (certainly unlike
most others) want to do checksums of it, and that only works if it is a
separate partition.
