I do.  I have fedoras 8 to 10, rawhide and centos and a couple of other 
flavors of fedora desktop installs all using the same /home. I do have 
probs from time to time but it is usually with programs that store 
directory names in config files in a /home dir and change the directory 
name from release to release (i.e., thunderbird).  That said, keeping 
the same home dir has saved my lots of time and probs that do pop up 
have been easily traceable.
