I'll ask JimmXinu to chime in here and confirm this is correct.
Unfortunately, I have very little wisdom to offer here.

When I replaced FanFictionDownLoader with FanFicFare, thducks posted suggesting that there was a Deprecated section that FanFictionDownLoader could be moved to and then helped do so.

A little later, there was discussion with eschwartz and thducks about adding an Uninstall flag for FFDL, which was eventually resolved.

To be honest, I didn't pay a huge amount of attention, since the index thread is outside my control. But what BR says appears to be correct: A plugin's entry in the index thread can tell calibre to uninstall a predecessor PI. But it has to be done juuust right.
