@geofft @marcan @theartlav curlbash should not be "rehabilitated". It's *always wrong*, just to varying degrees.

Your comparison of "unreproducible configure scripts" doesn't work because the scope of those is such that they run fine in a build sandbox where you discard everything but the build artifacts. curlbash on the other hand is full of commands to install packages, modify config files, etc.

@dalias @marcan @theartlav Do any users who are not aware of the risks of curl|bash run ./configure in a build sandbox?

Also what build sandbox do you use? I would like to try to escape it. :)
