So the updater told me my /boot partition is out of space.

I came here from this answer, which recommended (if you can't expand it directly) to just move the contents of the boot partition to the primary partition and installing grub on it.

This was for 10.10, and it sounds rather risky to me. So is that still safe to do on 14.04 LTS?

This is not the same as this question, whose hard drive is about to die. The answer does not mention moving contents of /boot.

If your boot partition is out of space it is most likely because there are too many old kernel images.

You can safely uninstall old kernels that you don't need/use anymore. You can find the kernel version you are using with:

uname -a

To find all the installed kernels, instead:

dpkg -l 'linux-image*'|grep 'ii'
