As a former proponent of /proc/config (I wrote one of the much-debated patches), I tend to agree. Debian's make-kpkg does the right thing, namely treating .config the same way it treats System-map, putting it in the package and eventually installing it in /boot/config-x.y.z. If Redhat's kernel-install script did the same it would rapidly become a non-issue. -- "Love the dolphins," she advised him.
