The Launcher is designed to download Engines side by side, so you can have different versions installed at once. Why? If you make games for a living, you may be working on multiple projects, with different requirements. You may have customized the Engine to far to safely bring the game to a new version, so this lets you start on new projects with a new Engine version, and either maintain the other game in its version, or slowly port the necessary portions to the new Engine. It also allows you to have the game running in two or more engines to compare performance and other things. You might also want to use different versions of the Engine for iOS than for Android than for Windows, as newer versions tend to drop support for the oldest devices.

One good thing about early and often release is there will be lots of testers, and bug fixes will be much quicker and more complete. The downside is initial release can be somewhat buggy, so it is probably better to wait for 4.9.1 if you want to be safe. I opt for quick development cycle ie release early and often which is good for both sides - user and Unreal team.

19925 is marked as by design.
19212 is currently under assessment. Unfortunately I do not have a timeframe of when a fix will be made available.Adam Davis | Marketplace Support | Epic Games

All my meshes no longer morph together like in 4.8.3
Update - Double checked this out. No Morphs work across meshes as 4.8. I'll stick with 4.8 until this is fixed

Pull request for proposed fix is already on github: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/pull/1512
Its a trivial fix, so you can alter the code and move on with your project :-)

Alternatively you can switch to the source code version, so you can download a smaller set of files every time, but that would also mean you need to spend time to build it yourself.
