rxjs-compat NOT automatically installed

[jtsom]

Per the paragraph on the announcement blog page:

For example, the command ng update @angular/core will update all of the Angular framework packages as well as RxJS and TypeScript, and will run any schematics available on these packages to keep you up to date. As part of this one command, we’ll automatically install rxjs-compat into your application to make the adoption of RxJS v6 smoother.

However, after running the ng upgrade commands, rxjs-compat was NOT automatically installed. When I ran my app, there were several errors related to rxjs

node_modules/rxjs/Observable.d.ts(1,15): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'rxjs-compat/Observable'.
src/app/students/students.component.ts(2,10): error TS2305: Module '"/Users/john/Dev/DotNet/TimeTracker/node_modules/rxjs/Observable"' has no exported member 'Observable'.
src/app/students/students.service.ts(3,10): error TS2305: Module '"/Users/john/Dev/DotNet/TimeTracker/node_modules/rxjs/Observable"' has no exported member 'Observable'.

This package allowed me to keep working:

npm install rxjs-compat@6.0.0-tactical-rc.1

See .. https://update.angular.io/ ..

In the last parts:

"Once you and all of your dependencies have updated to RxJS 6, remove rxjs-compat."

Same - I tried to run as well ng update rxjs, but it did not add rxjs-compat to the package.json, neither added it to the npm list.
