If you're running it in production then that's a problem. But I'd dare say that relying on an external "apt-get install xxx" is pretty bad practice in production (to deploy new machines).


I agree but most companies I know don't have the infrastructure or best-practices in place to avoid it. Copy-pasting the curl|sh is very low effort and will predictably end up in deploy code (if you have any).
