Yep, I agree. Providing checksums for scripts to curl isn't the the norm from what I've seen, though, which I think fits in with what GP (of my original comment) was saying. Also, I'm not super convinced that most users would bother verifying the checksum; from what I've seen, most people downloading Linux distro images don't even bother verifying the checksums that are provided.

I'd be great if something like hashpipe could become standard on Linux for this purpose.
