It won't remove 8.2 automatically. You'd have to ask port to deactivate
and uninstall it. Unfortunately, you may find it complains about
dependencies when you do that.

Are you using the server as well, or just the client components? If the
server, AFAIK it also won't try to do any database migration, which
probably isn't a huge problem on a dev system, but could be.
