evacuated-ethereum-client-binaries is a version of ethereum-client-binaries which has been evacuated from NSA/Microsoft github. Ethereum is a global, decentralized platform for money and new kinds of applications. On Ethereum, you can write code that controls money, and build applications accessible anywhere in the world. geth is an ethereum client. What is being downloaded is a binary form of geth, though on other platforms other clients may be grabbed. ethereum-client-binaries downloads and verifies you have geth ( #890541 ) installed in a way, for example, that mist ( #827314 ) can use. It is plausible that mist could be hard-coded to just use the geth on the system, but this is the way that mist is designed right now, so here we are.
