I agree with this 100%. And here's to all replies that say it's as secure as a package: it's only partly about security. The other part is version control. I can install a specific version of an RPM relatively easily, but wget|sh approach makes it much more inconvenient. One day it does one thing, the next day it may do something completely different. Even if I install on 2 machines, there's no guaranty that the repo owner won't push changes in the meantime.
