I back up regardless.
If you have a /home partition and do a custom install,
you can tell fedora not to mess with it.
Changes in the formats of .files can cause problems though.
Another way is to preserve a /user-data partition.
/home can be in the / partition.
When a user gets a spanking new home directory,
he can add a soft link into /user-data.
