Sure. They belong to each user. Look for hidden files and directories.
Lots of config and settings files in ~. Feel free to experiment.
I guess my remark was a bit silly.
But in fact I've never had any problem using dot files in my /home directory
from previous installations.
I just looked at these files,
and the only rpmnew version seems to be of bash_logout,
which is strange since I certainly never changed that.
I definitely don't want to spend hours
combing through .bash_profile and .bash_rc, etc,
every time I upgrade.
To me this would be a bit like going through my wallet
every time I change my jacket.
