Of course a 'normal' kernel can work in that space, so why not an
upgrade situation?
/boot is intended to hold a kernel, not mini-installs needed for some
upgrade method.
A possibility to park the install ramdisk elsewhere and start the kernel
pointing to it is of course a solution.
In upgrade situations we have to deal with historically grown situations
so demanding 200+ GB's with the flexibility of a 1980's procedure is not
of this time.

Why can't I plug in extra storage and use that? Or free up some space
elsewhere and use that?
I.e.: have more flexibility?
