You probably mean "safe"? Personally, the first thing I do
after downloading and unpacking new module is
$ sudo chown -R root:root <dir>
Of course, you'd need shell account, and even root-password.

I do not give users higher access-rights than what they really
need. And web-server does not need to be owner of these files
(now talking about core and modules)...
