Bikes: How'd I get this many?

Okay, I just wanted to check out some more opinions before proceeding. I've unlaced the wheel and am ready to lace it up again. However...

the hub does have a few holes/eyelets where there is wear from the spokes. It is kind of a notch in the eyelet following the direction of the spoke. Nothing bad, like about to wear the eyelet through to the edge of the flange, but I wondered how much of an issue this is?

I wonder if by rotating the hub and switching the direction of the wear (switch the inner/outer spoke position) I could prolong the hub life?

I'd prefer to reuse the hubs, but don't want to have to go through this all over again. (and of the two spokes I broke, one was at the hub flange, one at the first spoke taper, around 4" from the hub)
