Even though I know it's fine, it still feels weird to me when a site asks me to pipe their script directly into a shell. Since I always have the option of breaking it into two steps, though, it doesn't bother me, and I don't think a "wall of shame" is called for. I do usually glance over a a script/makefile/whatever before I run it--not so much to find security issues but to see if there's anything I'd like to tweak about it. For example, I always install homebrew in a nonstandard location, and that means changing a couple things about the installer script first.
