The github issue seemed to indicate it would keep it in place but I wanted to double check (for the record, I wouldn't mind migrating to /opt)

05/13/2022, 3:48 PMOne follow up @Michal Nicpon - if I uninstall orbit and re-install from the newest package, will the host show up twice in my console - in other words, does it register the host again as a new one, or will it continue to be attached to the same FleetDM host record?
