Wouldn't that make a lot of duplicates?  I know when I changed my hostname I 
had to rerun setup (probably my problem). etc.  Then when I looked in the 
database later I found there were duplicate entries for a lot of stuff under 
my old hostname and the new hostname.  I ended up going through all the 
tables and manually deleting the old stuff.
