I think we have to differentiate between "possible" and "reasonable".

why would anyone reasonably change it for a zone?
I would think that would only happen on extreme cases.

the reason I'm being particular about this, is that it would seem far
more likely to me for a site to want to have all machines deploy mutt
with the SAME configuration.(and I have had specific experience as a
site admin doing this with mutt )

Putting the default location in /etc makes that much more difficult.
whereas if you put the default in /opt/csw/etc, they could make it a
symlink, in the unlikely event they wanted zones to be different
