I can only guess on what the original intend of this mail was - but how does 
the config get into /boot if you roll your own kernel? if the support for 
config.gz is on, you're guaranteed to find the config of the currently 
running kernel in /proc/config.gz, no matterr if you run a stock or your own 
kernel, no matter how many kernels you have installed, ...

I can see the benefit - especially since I'm maintaining a environment with a 
couple hundret linux boxes in various configurations.
