Hello team,

What will happen with the existing Connect app listing on the Marketplace when we [add](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/link-connect-to-its-equivalent-forge-app/) the `forgeAppLink` to the Connect app descriptor? Will Marketplace pages (Atlassian and Bitbucket) automatically replace Connect installation method with the Forge one for new users?

UPD. Will the direct Connect installation link and other Connect-related installation methods be disabled after we add the Forge link? For example, `https://bitbucket.org/site/addons/authorize?addon_key=app-key` .
