Which for an enterprise deployment on a platform that has limited
choices in hardware should change infrequently and be pretty much the
same on every machine. 

You definitely don't need/want user data in / (definitely NOT /tmp) and
the configuration information in /etc is read by things that are later
in the process than the things you list (ie can be handled after you
substitute a machine-specific /etc for the "default" /etc.
