is this in effect requires a change in the file system currently
mounted at /boot, which is ext4. And ext4 isn't supported by sd-boot
or UEFI firmware. So if you're going to support sd-boot, the
installer needs to be aware that either the ESP is big enough to be
used as /boot, or if it's not big enough then it will be mounted on
/efi*and* a new partition XBOOTLDR formatted as FAT will be used as
/boot.
Nobody should use FAT for /boot. efifs[1] should be used instead.
I vehemently disagree. VFAT is the way to go. It's simply a pointless
excercise to use anything else.

I think it might be OK to stick to ext4 for upgrades, but outside of
that, for new installs it's something that really should be avoided I
am sure.
