John pointed out Fedora & RHEL does /boot/config-*  . (and don't
provide /proc/config.gz). I don't know which distro does
/proc/config.gz Obviously neither Ubuntu nor Fedora/RHEL; maybe one of
Mandriva/Debian/Suse?

As a point of interest, /boot also contains the init ramdisk, the
kernel symbol map besides the kernel image (beside some
grub/boot-loader files), so it isn't too much to have another kernel
related file. For the purist, building the kernel to have
self-knowledge of its own config under /proc is a neat thing, but
OTOH, it uses kernel memory to provide what is very static unchanging
info under /proc, which is unwise.
