I first thought he meant it was a horrible idea for the owner of RawGithub.com: serving arbitrary JavaScript. But that shouldn't be a problem as long as long you use a completely separate domain and never care about cookies.
As for the users of the service: it's not any less secure than running JavaScript from any other web server. You can of course never trust that it's serving the correct data, but I don't see how that's horrible security wise. If you're going to demo it yourself you can easily clone the repo yourself (or setup gh-pages). This is for users who want to quickly check out someone else's repo without cloning it.
