Choosing an arbitrary location we think is good on every system is fine and non risky I think, as long as Python let the various distribution change those paths though configuration.
Don’t you have a bootstrapping problem? How do you know where to look at the sysconfig file that tells where to look at config files?
Personally, I'm not clear on what a separate syconfig.cfg file offers over clearly separating the directory configuration settings and continuing to have distributions patch sysconfig.py directly. The bootstrapping problem (which would encourage classifying synconfig.cfg as source code and placing it alongside syscongig.py) is a major part of that point of view.
