Well, the point of having those different directories is to actually 
make use of them :-)
In short, if you backup up your settings, you don't want to include 
cache/data files.
If you deinstall an application, you may want to keep its settings, but 
certainly not its cache/data files.
The bash history is only a small file, but I would rather be consistent 
in the use of the system directories.
