Thinking about it some more, you are probably right. I was thinking
that at least the package integrity, etc was checked before getting
to that point. But you're right - this doesn't really give you much.

I would maintain, however, that we shouldn't be encouraging people
to get into the habit of download+run (without putting on thinking hat).

Download+feed_to_some_program at least leaves open the possibility
that some checks occur, or could be added in the future, and thus is
a better habit to encourage - IMHO.

There is no replacement for "trusting" (to some extent) the source
of your packages!

My other comments still stand....
