Not if he uses LVM, unless there have been big changes in the last day 
or two, in a program where the feature has been discussed and promised 
for many years.  If gparted had the fairly trivial ability to move and 
resize a partition it doesn't understand it would be useful.

I use a ping / pong disk setup, so I'll just nuke the LVM partition, 
resize /boot, make a new LVM, and copy my data over and make a dump as 
usual.
