I used to just make them templates, keep the file in native format and only template out the options that vary per my different classifications (stage, location, purpose). Where stage was devel/qa/staging/prod, location had to do with datacenter or network (ntp, routes, dns servers, gateways) and purpose was the function the machine was dedicated for (could be multiple, but mostly webapp, load balancer, db, infrastructure, etc).
