I see the above fragment in the draft newsletter, and frankly
am disappointed at proposed content not using the packaging
system. It is clearly not a 'best practice'. The item in
question will run as root, and one assumes will over time be
updated and have security fixes.
In a CentOS publication, we should not be proposing installing
time bombs that a later admin 'cannot see'. We are all that
later admin as time packages and we forget the details of a
particular installation
