I agree with this assessment. We shouldn't use config.gz as precedence for this solution. config.gz should have been in debugfs to begin with, but I don't believe debugfs was around when config.gz was introduced. (Don't have time to look into the history of the two).
I don't agree with this: /proc/config.gz is used by a lot of tools that do sanity-check of running systems. This isn't _debugging_... it's verifying correct kernel builds. It's a fancy version of checking /proc/version.
