Considering that Ubuntu and Suse have chosen not to reuse an existing
/boot from Fedora... but have instead chosen to cull grub entries...
that tells me that this line of reasoning is absolutely a non-starter
for discussion.  Whatever rationale they used to cull grub entries
instead of sharing /boot... still exists and you are going to have one
hell of a time convincing them otherwise.
