Well, I guess your memory is better than mine. If I didn't mount 
/boot, I'd eventually forget and run the PMS..

Other reasons:

- If you're administering the machine on a professional basis, stuff
   like this leaves surprises for the next admin

- Module insertion, oops decoding and other crash-diagnosis tools may
   need access to object files for running kernel..

Software is already a mine-field of bugs and strange behaviour, but 
if this dimly explored field of systems administration works you then 
have at it. Just, please, mention stuff like this in any bug 
reports..
