Like Tobias, I’m reluctant to adding environment variables; I’m also
skeptical about the use case (I think it’s fine to let users remove
their previous installation if that’s what they want).
I also think we’d rather minimize changes to the script since we’re a
couple of days before the release.
Thanks,
