    Currently, with the hub, when a new version of Unity is released, the only option is to download the whole new release and then set a project to use it when opened. So, for example, when 2018.3.6 was released, the hub downloads and installs it beside 2018.3.5, then I had to set the project to load with 2018.3.6 and then manually uninstall 2018.3.5.

    I understand why the hub works this way; people who are working on professional production games probably don't want their Unity versions being updated directly in case the new version introduces changes that cause errors and whatnot, and having an older version around to revert to is useful for them. But as a hobbyist I would love to have an option to simply update the currently installed version to the latest version without having to manually uninstall the earlier version myself. Any chance this could be added?
