Uhm, so you expect people to automatically download a file from
your webserver to have it executed automatically as root? o.O
I'm really sorry, but suggesting this is so out of bounds, how
do you expect people to take that serious? It's not even about
trusting you or not, it's about a very, very high risk one
would expose himself. There is no perfect security, every
server can be hacked one day - yours too.
Please stop suggesting things that could make things worse for
a lot of people.
