In `doc/README.md`, it says "the easiest way to install is to run `curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh`"

but n `doc/travis_ci.md`, it says "there is only one reasonable way to install Stack: fetch precompiled binary from the Github."
```yaml
before_install:
# Download and unpack the stack executable
- mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
- export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
- travis_retry curl -L https://get.haskellstack.org/stable/linux-x86_64.tar.gz | tar xz --wildcards --strip-components=1 -C ~/.local/bin '*/stack'
```

I'm trying to read between the lines here to understand the difference between easy and reasonable.  Are these Travis instructions still current?

Thanks in advance.

If you examine the script at `https://get.haskellstack.org/` (the one obtained by `curl` and then piped to `sh` for the easy method), I think you will see that it also actually fetches the pre-compiled binary from the same place. I think 'from the Github` is not accurate.
