After installing the 7.0.0 GA, I discovered that my PS 6.2 folder was empty. Is this intended?

I Installed using PowerShell-7.0.0-win-x64.msi

Expected behavior

I expected that my PowerShell 6 release would have been left in place.

Actual behavior

C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6 is empty.
Any shortcuts or tasks targeting that release are not broken.
