What do you mean by "won't work"?  gnote crashes?  gnote loses previous
information?

It isn't sufficient to define an issue as "won't work". 

And if applications change as they are updated and the programmer
doesn't account for older versions and move information from the old
locations to the new locations then a bugzilla needs to be filed.

Applications such as T-Bird know how to do this.  They even warn you
when you move from a newer version back to an older version.

I've been upgrading for years and never have run into a "show stopper"
to the point where I would consider abandoning having a separate /home.
