Sorry if I am being obtuse, but the above paragraph makes little to no sense
to me. The way I see it, if you system is running, you have a kernel image
somewhere. While it is possible to delete the image of a running kernel, in
that case you have bigger problems to worry about than saving your config
file. The only downside of "doing the ELF thing" is that we need an extra
tool to extract the config info from a zImage (or bzImage, or whatever).
This is a problem I am willing to cope with.

Let us go. Let us leave this festering hell hole. Let us think the
unthinkable, let us do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the
ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.
