Just - placing custom snippets in a completely own directory structure - an placing a symlink 'cust' to the directory structure in the default snippets directory works nice here. This provides a nice overview, from having first part 'cust' when including the snippet you can easily distinguish your snippets vs. cobbler provided ones.

It should work fine if you want to have multiple levels like sub1/sub2/snippet. I don't think moving things to multiple top-level directories is a good idea.
