May not want to share /home
My own experience is that sharing /home between distros can lead to muddled configuration settings. I've recently switched to running with all of my data in a /Data partition, with shortcuts from each distros /home to /Data/documents, /Data/music, /Data/pictures, etc. That way all the distros get to share my data without them getting tangled in each others' config settings.
