Due to technical details with rpm script execution order +the way this was implemented was that a pre-installation script wipes /opt/chef before every install (done consistently this way on +every package manager). + +This will not affect anyone who is properly managing customizations to /opt/chef via chef recipes itself since they will be installed by +the new chef-client package. + +The package installation emits a message that /opt/chef is being removed to inform the user that this action is taking place. + ### Package provider allow_downgrade is now true by default -We reversed the default behavior to `allow_downgrade true` for our package providers.
