Just received the following answer from the lead developer, wayneeseguin, on #rvm:

[12:53] "the author" merged it into the ain installer [12:53] so you should be doing bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head ) # http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/
[12:53] the code has just changed and the documentation hasn't caught up [12:53] for both root and user installs

It is true that RVM 1.5.1 will successfully install into /usr/local/bin just by installing as root. However, for some reason, all the existing Chef and Puppet provisioning scripts that are in use today do not appear to survive this version bump. This is unfortunate, as Wayne E. Seguin has made clear that RVM below version 1.5.0 will not be supported.

That said, we need our systems to work today. In order to continue to use RVM 1.3.0, which the existing scripts support, you need to replace the following line:

bash < <( curl -L http://bit.ly/rvm-install-system-wide )

With the following line (found by phlipper):

bash -c "bash <( curl -L https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/raw/1.3.0/contrib/install-system-wide ) --version '1.3.0'"
