My main desktop system's home also dates back to RHL (tho I think it was 
formatted for 8), but I would still argue it is smarter not to mix rawhide and 
anything else writing to the same home.  I have tarballed and moved my home a 
number of times to change partition schemes and format; using XFS on my home now 
(apparently just because I can, no other argument for why).
