The project wiki pages are editable by all, without any oversight by project maintainers.

[The wiki page for Installation](https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Installation) includes a link to the gist that should be used as the install script. I wonder if the install script should be in the git repo itself, and the README could point at it instead (although, it's still a trust issue in either case, this approach offers just a bit more oversight than the other.)

On the other hand, it's the responsibility of the user to check any scripts they're about to run... AND they shouldn't be using sudo anyway -- what's the worst that could happen... ;-)
