JFTR, unfortunately PVs cannot be made smaller. The whole idea of LVM is to do all the resize operations*within* the containers.
This, however, is a special case because /boot needs to be a regular partition, not part of an LVM. Personally, for home computers, I consider LVM to be a solution in search of a problem and would prefer that it weren't the default configuration because most home users have no need for it.
