Question #77022 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77022

Tom proposed the following answer:
If your /home folder is on it's own partition then you are less likely
to have catostrophic failure anyway as the /home contains almost all the
personalised settings so re-installing the OS or even installing a
completely different version of linux is less likely to have a negative
impact on your system.  However stable you make your system backing up
is always a good plan of course.

If you don't already have your /home on a separate partition it might be
worth thinking about doing that sometime later, but perhaps not for a
while becuase there's nothing wrong with your system either way so don't
change it lol

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Ps i'm glad to hear you've reached perfection ;)
