I think there are patches, but I do keep a 32 meg ext3 for /boot,=20 because it seems like no matter what FS I choose, there's some sort of=20 caveat involving Grub. I know when installing XFS as a root FS on=20 Ubuntu, it talks about Grub problems... I mean, having Grub support everything would be nice, but if you're=20 reformatting anyway, I don't think it's that imperative.
