I assume the black boost will still override the Black ink limit.

As a practical matter, I have not been using it becuase I tend to set 
the limits at where I find the dmax is reached.  One could set it a 
bit lower and then put the black boost at the max point.  This might 
give more flexibility to raise or lower is as circumstances changed.

Also, my understanding of the black boost is that it's not just a 
higher limit.  It puts a very steep curve on the black ink at the 
very end.  This is to overcome the usual rather flat response of the 
paper and ink as the limit is approached.  It might be easier to put 
that steep curve on with the black boost than with a manual curve.  
On the other hand, I tend to also do that manually, with, for 
example, a point at 98 that is quite a bit below the final point.

At any rate, I think the option of using the black boost is there 
even if the points list curve generation is used.
