I believe the reason for this is due to various users who have their home
directories on network mounted systems (even if only the user is the only
one to set up the network connection.) If the data was stored in the home
directory then the network could not start to thus mount the home directory
to get the account. A similar problem occurs if the /home is encrypted
separately from the root partition.

In general, I just make sure that /root /etc and /home are backed up when I
move from OS version to OS version so that I don't lose stuff I might need
later.
