Fear!  I'm afraid of possibly screwing up something that is working.  
Plus I have to bring it up-to-date afterwards while preserving my own 
stuff.

I'm not anywhere near as comfortable with this stuff as some people are 
because I don't have the understanding of what is actually going on 
underneath.  I recently did a restore from yesterday's backup, after 
saving my home directory first, and I'm not really sure I did that right.

I used to re-install Unix systems at the drop of a hat, but OS X seems 
to be a lot more complex.  There are directory trees that contain stuff 
I just don't understand.  Some have to be preserved and restored after 
the re-install and some don't.  It seems safer to rebuild the cache.
