There might be practical use of {Sage|Python} without having to download.

You may accept to hop through flaming circles in effect to accomplish what
is specified in the R documentation as a simple operation. Tou may also
accept to lose the benefits of the package management system of R
(dependencies, version checking and the like...). Mos "normal" R users
wont't stand it.
Furthermore, by refusing to ensure the presence of a library necessary to
R, you force the poor sod willing to maintain R (me, currently), to
maintaint a patch that serves no useful purpose other that to protect your
precious OpenSSL maidenhood. That's a bit rich...
