Frankly, I am starting to have serious reservations about brew itself. It seems to now be forcing a self-update on every package installation, and that update somehow (I'm not a good enough *nix hacker to sort it out) gets some kind of elevated in the process privs: I've tried setting some of its component ruby scripts read-only and even changing ownership, and they still get force-updated on package installation.
