But the risk is about doing this in an uncontrolled way. A lot of sw is updated in a similar way today (in a way that tries to control the risks). Just because it is common does not make it acceptable. We do not want software to be autoloaded from anywhere outside the user's machine. The user should always have control over installing it in the machine. (See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for a similar issue.)
