Upgrades/downgrades can always cause issues, but more often than not you're totally fine, especially during upgrades. I tend to declutter my home a little too. E.g. I keep the configurations for Firefox and Thunderbird but delete their cache, for Inkscape I may keep my custom palettes only. For a lot of Gnome tools, I just delete all the configuration, especially for stuff that I only use once a month. However, the major issue during that process for me is that accidents happen occasionally.

i can imagine this would speed up distrohopping by 10x
I am confusion. It seems like this wouldn't help much with distro-hopping at all. At least not the way I learned to reinstall OSes, i.e. keep /home and make sure to back up important config files you edited.
It ships a file called snark.py which is apparently used to name colors. Examples:
(0, 85, 85, 'liquid Nyquil'),
(85, 170, 170, 'smurf blood'),
(255, 170, 170, '"nude" tights that only match Becky's skin'),
Yes. If you copy
/hometo a completely different drive, do make sure to be intentional about access rights (i.e. in your new install, you want your files to belong to you again and you want scripts to still be executable; sorting this out after the fact is possible but can be time-consuming) and make sure to copy hidden files/directories (i.e..dotfiles, which is where user preferences for your apps are stored; if you want e.g. your Firefox bookmarks and tabs to remain with you, keep these files).
