I'm not outraged. I dislike it, and it would be a "con" when considering any use of the project. Binaries are relatively inscrutable, and there are massive differences in ease of doing something nefarious or careless with OS binaries, and upstream checked in source code, and upstream checked in binaries. That's just one or two reasons why I think this approach is not at all commonplace in open settings, and is generally limited to closed and controlled settings like corporate environments. A more typical and reasonable approach would be having a dependency on such a binary that you get however you like: OS, build from upstream source, upstream binary, etc., and where the default is not the latter. And now if you allow me to get a bit off-topic again: to me, having to "innovate" like this is a major sign that this project knows it is very slow, and knows it's unlikely to ever not be very slow.
