Description
install installs add-ons
uninstall, based on the help text, seems to uninstall the whole chef server
This seems like a really bad idea.
I propose either:
A) changing 'install' to 'addon-install' and adding a new 'addon-uninstall'
B) changing 'uninstall' to something more descriptive, like server-uninstall
