No, I move out of the way the config/data files I want to keep and move them
back in after untarring the stage 3.

Quite, if you can get your existing installation to only run a minimal number
of rebuilds to arrive at an upgraded toolchain, then the benefit of
reinstalling wouldn't be there. This could have been the case on an average
year, when python deprecations didn't accelerate and EAPI didn't change. If
however you end up tying up yourself in knots with subsequent python upgrades
and difficult to resolve conflicts, then the pain Vs gain calculus changes.
