There's some background at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1036705 and related bugs. As
I understand it, dlehman's current position is that he doesn't believe
LVM devs, btrfs devs etc are sufficiently committed to supporting /boot
on those volumes that it is safe for anaconda to offer this choice. As
of right now, for grub2, anaconda does not allow /boot to be on anything
but a raw partition or a RAID device, and only allows the ext, xfs and
btrfs filesystems. /boot cannot be a btrfs *subvolume*, but it can be
raw partition formatted with the btrfs filesystem (I don't think you can
achieve this with the UI, though, so it's kickstart-only).
