Comment (by taos):
I think the default is now to always preserve the home folder. No matter
whether you update via pkgman or if you use Installer. At least I don't
remember having lost my Vision settings file in the last 1.5 years
(neither on my pkgman managed nightly installation nor in my self-built
Installer updated installation, and AKAIK there actually is a default one
in the Vision package that only gets written to disk if there is none). I
had more of a problem with stale config files once in a while that don't
get updated.
Another inconvenience - if you go the Installer route - is that all
packages in /system/packages are removed and you have to install every
single additional package again (e.g. the wifi-firmware package you would
need to have installed before you could go online to download said
package...).
