Yes, I run different services on several machines that share a disk file system.

Plan 9's best point of separation for integrity of processes is individual kernels. Sometimes you want to isolate stuff that might go nuts or is otherwise unreliable.

Example: crashing my web server (likely) does not cause my e-mail to stop processing.

The point about tracking in the repository is also salient. It makes sense to fall back on sane defaults but also check for site customized alternatives. That's why /cfg exists in the first place. It's a good idea to track (only) the sane defaults in the repository.
