Well, older admins gained a lot of experience in this area already and can share that. Not too long ago, typical UNIX zoos were much more heterogeneous. Yet a similar looking NFS structure for SunOS, Solaris, DEC and Linux was done in many places.

Now this appears again for 32bit/64, and will fade in a couple of years (all 64bit).

Being on Sun, you may want to investigate the automounter manpages.
The idea was different /bin/ and possibly lib/ directories mounted depending on the OS, whereas shared/ was precisely what it meant.
