And I thought piping to bash was bad

  I've never understood the security argument people are making when they complain about `curl foo | bash`. I get that these scripts sometimes mess up your bashrc or whatever, but from a security perspective I see no issue. You are already installing software from the same domain. If they were going to do something nasty, they could do it with any of the software you are using from them. It doesn't have to be the setup script.

    The intended workflow is to download the install scripts, download the source code, read them both, and then start running things. That’s how Open Source is secured. Piping from bash to curl is just the most obvious warning flag.

    And practically zero people are actually using this "intended workflow" in the real world.

    Yes, the status quo is quite bad, which is why it gets complained about a lot.
