I am doing the upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 today, and started thinking.
I've had this install running since 7.10 or 8.04, and have just been
upgrading it all along.  Is there ever a good reason to back things up
and do a fresh install of the new OS rather than doing the upgrade?

The only clean install I did was because at some point ext4 became the default fs instead of ext3. I'd say if you are still on ext3, it might be worth the clean wipe and re-install.
