Our existing back boiler is in good enough condition and will hopefully last quite a few more years, but when the time comes to replace it, I'm concerned that the replacement won't be able to fit in the fireplace it's currently in due to the need to drain off some noxious condensates... (And the room it's in has no easy route to a drain)
I'm hoping it's going to be many years before I have to change the boiler, but I'm planning some major (re) plumbing this summer, so if I have to re-locate the boiler when I need a new one, I may be able to better plan for it when the time comes... (However, who knows what technology might be like in 10 years time though!!!)
