    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.)
