This is so sensitive to individual environment requirements it has
never been standardized well that I've seen. It *always* gets done by
the local admin, to fit their requirments.

If you really want to store system configs to be able to do diffs, I
personally pull backups to a secured central server with tools like
"rsnapshot" to get daily backups of all of "/etc/" and "/root/" and a
few critical logs It's very stable, very robust, and very flexible.
