> rustup with its 700 lines of shell script

I wouldn't trust a shipping shell script with less than 200 lines just re: sanity checks.

Large shell script programming stinks. The person who wrote it probably swore off shell as soon as they were done. But it is portable and it isn't half the pain that packaging for several distros is.
