Ok, here's an idea: Don't format / when you reinstall. There's a number
of ways you can do this:
1) Use the upgrade option.
Is that supported?
2) Have anaconda selectively rm -rf, leaving directories like /home,
/var/lib/xen and so forth alone.
That could be a reasonable option.
3) Use LVM/Ext3 resizing to salvage /home when doing the format.
4) Have a backup system that you can restore from.
A backup isn't really a backup if it becomes your only copy as you erase
the real thing.
I agree that there are technical challenges to overcome and my vote is
always to try to overcome then than to leave them unresolved.
Adding another partition will create social and technical challenges-
more than it solves.
Is there any historical evidence for this? Surely there have been
unix-like systems that have defaulted to a different partitioning scheme
before. And certainly some that performed version upgrades without
reformatting.
