You should split your project by tasks, as most likely no one would /another/ bunch script set especially for sysadmin task.
And wonder for each one if it is /generally/ useful, flexibile enough, etc. If you look at any administrative interface, she most likely rely on one distribution and depends on a programs/versions set. It have to be integrated.
