Right now, the cloud images are unpartitioned. In some cloud providers
(e.g., the 800lb gorilla of Amazon EC2) we in fact use the kernel that
assumes the image is just one partition, not a disk image. We could
change that (and I kind of want to anyway, for consistency), but it
would be... change. Having a separate /boot is also problematic
(read: wasteful) for ultra-small images, and adds complexity a lot of
users are going to frown at. So..... if by "/boot" you mean "the
partition that /boot happens to be on, even if it is /", then I think
we're good. Otherwise we will have to figure something else out.
u-boot has zero support for xfs so arm systems will have to use ext4
for /boot at least as well. which would mean / if users chose to not
use a separate /boot partition
