I keep thinking that maybe I should reinstall just to get rid of random cruft, but can never be bothered to do it.
I always reinstall for that very reason. Plus I've worked out a great way to do it: Install a virtual machine, guestmount it, then rsync the disk image to the real partition I'm going to run on. Edit a few files like grub.cfg and fstab, and you can boot into it with a grub entry that uses the configfile directive, then install grub for real. No need to have your system down while installing :-).
