Another agreement from me here. Also, may I also add that a great deal of Arch users have /boot in a (tiny) partition to start with and can't really KEEP that much stuff in there? Keeping old kernels would definitely screw their systems up and keep them from upgrading with any ease.
I have two kernels in /boot at the moment, and that takes 32MiB. My /boot partition is 200MiB, which is pretty generous as far as separate /boots go. That gives me room for 12 kernels. I'm not sure many would have a /boot smaller than 100MiB, and can't see *anyone* partitioning a /boot to less than 32MiB. I don't think space is a concern when we're talking about 2-3 kernels (current, previous, and possibly a custom build.) Paul
