I hadn't come across stow before. I might integrate that into my dotfiles. Right now I use a bash script I wrote to deploy my dotfiles into ~/, via symlink, including renaming existing files (after prompting the user). I get what you mean about using that opportunity to do some spring cleaning. I find I need to do that to my Vim installation periodically too. I'll add a new plugin that looks like it will be useful, or add something for a new language or template system, then not use it enough to justify it.
