If you mean standard stuff people tend to boot (ie, Linux), every distribution out there installs them and expects them to be in /boot, not /boot/grub. My /boot partition is in this case part of the bigger / partition, but if it was separate it'd be big enough to hold quite a few kernels and so on.
