Is there a way to move to ext4 on the /boot partition?

According to the ext4 wiki grub2 don't yet support ext4, so you shouldn't
convert it to ext4 at this point.

There's also no reason to use /ext4/ on the */boot* partition. One can
use /ext2/ or /ext3,/ or /reiserfs/ or /XFS/ or something. I always
have */boot* mounted read-only anyway, so even the journaling aspect is
superfluous.

One can however use /ext2/ or eventually /ext3/ on the */boot* partition
and use /ext4/ for the root partition, if one so desires. As long as
*/boot* is a separate filesystem, that should work just fine.
