You might not have the kernel image, because you got it over the
network. Or you might have several, but are not sure which was
one corresponds to the running kernel.

C'mon give the guy who implemented this a break.
FYI, on my .config
grep -v '^#' .config | gzip | wc -c
gives 483. Add a couples of bytes for the code that implements
/proc/config. And of course you could make it an option.
