I am downvoting them because shell piping is not relevant to Meteor 1.2 announcement, this topic was discussed on multiple occasions and they offer no alternative.

Sure it's relevant.

They're announcing "hey we have these new features" and I'm saying "hey look, they still haven't fixed this big glaring problem that is very much relevant to how their software is used".

Downvoting because it's a non-issue. If I'm copying and pasting something from the web into my terminal, it's because I trust the source.

It's not any less secure than downloading a tarball and running scripts inside of it. That's equally insecure and people have been doing that since the dawn of the internet.
