Less blather this time. Yes, ther reason is that /boot
contains other useful information about the kernels ensconced there,
(like System.map, and psdatabase) but is missing one piece: exactly
what is configured into the kernel (which can be quite important).
I think that a small file is not too great a departure from
the standard, and, maybe, this should have been in the standard in
the first place.
