      it could break stuff if other things change - so it depends. I would recommend users reinstall so that the binary and the configure match up.

          you lose the lot

                  @BuZz i think one massive question many others are thinking is; will, as you put it "reimage, uninstall/reinstall" result in the loss of the assblast of roms they have uploaded to their current install of retropie.
