On: “Curl Bash piping” wall of shame

Sure, but how is that any less secure than other installation alternatives? As the site owner, I could swap out a valid package for a troll package at any moment to any subset of users I wanted to if they're not validating the contents of it...

You can't change the contents on a user's local storage that they've verified.

Curlbash lets you change out offerings at will, and leaves no auditable source for the user.
