Personally, I just gave root "enough" and set up a separate user partition. Although admittedly it gets more complex if using lvm, so realistically I end up setting up sd-encrypt on the new drive, manually partitioning, then rsyncing everything over reserving permissions
Last time I did it I threw away my root install too because I figured it had been around long enough that either my drunken younger self messed up the install or otherwise something "dirtied up" the install.
I also figure it's nice to clean the slate just in case someone put a gnarly rootkit on my box.
Over the last two years I've migrated to fedora/Ubuntu and trying to do everything really secure, but I finally broke down and re enabled community a month or two ago. Just too much user space desktop quality of life stuff which only lives in community....
