That's interesting. I generally don't see /boot as something that normal
users shouldn't be able to read. Or, in other words, I generally don't
see it as a place where secret data should be stored.
Any particular examples?
GRUB can have passwords to protect booting, menu options, and changing
config. The initramfs can have network and iSCSI config for mounting
the root filesystem.
