Extract the tarball directly to /. 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, Ludo’.
