It's quite unsettling that we seem to be rushing to write a news post while this very reasonable suggestion remains completely ignored. For future migrations I would greatly appreciate if not all on-disk data were thrown away. On top of SSH keys, there are home directories which contain not only user data but also in some cases things useful for the distro as a whole (such as the service I use to version iana-etc files).
