<tick> I am a chronic "I wonder what that package does" type.

Which means that I am now in the habit of not upgrading distributions
when they come out and instead rely on my handy-dandy
list-o-portant-packages that I _try_ to keep up to date. Instead I:
clean install, run shell script to make everything "like I want it".

On this note, given the amount of ~/.xxxxx cruft that seems to
accumulate these days I have often though about doing the same for my
home dir. I _used_ to know what everything in there did back in the
debian sarge+mwm days...
