What is your goal?

a) Do you manually decide which class applies for each host and want to
automate/simplify the decision process?

b) Do you want to clean up/consolidate your config space and want to
handle /scratch as a special case of NO_SCRATCH?

The answers would be different. a) would hint at some decision logic in
class/ which automatically announces the correct class. b) would require
either modifying your layout-files on the fly or change the way
disk_config works.

Everything's possible. We just need to find the right hammer for your
nail. ;)
