I'd be really upset if an upgrade resulted in me going to start my
email and having to either a) redownload all the headers and messages
into a new cache or b) dig around for an app in the software center

The example Owen gave was a character picker. Maybe there's a distinction
to be made between apps which keep data and (meaningful) preferences, and
ones that are just little utilities?
