Summary:
Addons cannot be upgraded through the UI
Detailed description
If you try to overwrite an already-installed addon, Blender errors ("File already installed to ..."). This prevents users from upgrading their addons through the UI.

Ideally Blender should examine bl_addon_info['version'] and warn if the user is downgrading, but otherwise overwrite.
