How to update existing Matlab installations with mpm when mpm update doesn't exist and mpm install won't install on top of an existing installation

[krasingneves]

We use environmental management (e.g., Ansible, Chef, SaltStack, etc) to manage developer machines and on-prem CI infrastructure.

Right now, mpm update doesn't exist, and mpm install won't install on top of an existing installation. There isn't an mpm uninstall to remove an existing installation. It looks like the current option to update Matlab versions is to script a manual uninstall, and then use mpm to install it.

It's not a great option.

1. Is there a better option?
2. When is mpm expected to have support for update and uninstall?
