Incidents, high profile or otherwise, where build systems or package installations were impacted due to dependencies being unavailable.

There has been a lot of chatter about left-pad's removal a few years ago, and that's often the cited example for keeping track of dependencies, explicit and transitive. However, it is important to record other similar incidents to improve the integrity of dependency graphs across ecosystems.

Incidents

These are examples of packages being unavailable that have occurred already.

Unavailable, but not Dependencies

These are incidents where there weren't dependencies unavailable causing build failures, but other packages becoming unavailable due to one reason or another. It is still important to document them as similar situations may well occur to packages meant to be used as dependencies.
