the noauto for /boot is from gentoo world. they say it's for security and for 
system failures.

can't find any reference from their site right now ;(

and there is difference between /boot not mounted or /usr mounted readonly. 
because if the /boot isn't mounted the kernel image will be placed silently 
to rootfs and you won't even notice that.
