Should we also consider adding it to upgrade?

Just out of curiosity, was there a specific scenario that prompted this change?

Not for this PR, but we really need to sort all these arguments...

Thanks for your review.

Please update the release notes and install docs

Sorry I missed it, I've updated both of them now.

Should we also consider adding it to upgrade?

Oh yeah maybe it's good idea.
but I don't know about upgrade enough. I'd like to keep this PR scoped to install for now.

Just out of curiosity, was there a specific scenario that prompted this change?

I use a single winget install command to install and update multiple packages. Recently, one package was renamed, causing the entire command to fail and preventing the remaining packages from being processed. I found this inconvenient, so I proposed adding --ignore-unavailable to allow the remaining packages to continue being installed.
