Is a FAT /boot such a bad thing?
For one thing, not supporting symlinks would break the OSTree model for
atomic upgrades (/boot/loader -> /boot/loader.[01]).
It would be possible to fix this by pushing the atomic upgrades
"protocol" down to the bootloader level, but I'd prefer to avoid
patching all of the bootloaders.
