User: Hi! I'd like a wake up call.
Hotel front desk: The entire modern web infrastructure you rely on is held together by a handful of volunteer run opensource projects, and if one lead maintainer decides to delete their repository today, the global economy would stall by noon.
@nixCraft That's why you make sure to fork your dependencies. The financial stuff is largely regulated so the OSS used is being used as SOUP so they probably already do this as part of their QMS. A lot would stay up.
Worse would be if one of them got super pissed and decided to ruin everything. Pretty much nobody would catch on in time.
