What's the benefit of encrypting /boot? If it's encrypted, will the system use only passphrase to unlock the storage, instead of the combination of both passphrase and a key file? (Use passphrase only is a bad idea because that would mean we essentially encrypt different data with the same key, if two encrypted providers both use the same passphrase. This is probably not a big deal for single disk systems like a laptop system but could have bad consequence if it's used in larger scale).
