No issues up to now. (I don't really care about framerates)
I disabled most of the mods for the time being until they get checked/updated.

Google search terms wanted.
A few years ago, a developer of a trivial package in one of the major packet wells on internet decided to delete his package from the well (allegedly because he never received the credit he expected and deserved) - creating havoc in the development world: Thousands of programs had imported the package, and rebuilding the system crashed.
I know this story only through the grapevine, so details are fuzzy - but through a couple different channels, so I guess the story is well known. I'd like to dig up some more reliable, detailed information about this case, but I am not able to come up with search terms that brings up what I am looking for.
Do you know e.g. the name of the package in question? Or the name of the developer involved? Or any other good search terms that brings me closer to information about the incident?

1. Would be helpful when you give a hint what the package supported
2. Yeah, always have a copy of such a package when used in production software. Anything else is more than negligent.

That is some of the information I am searching 
The essential part of the story as I have heard is how a tiny little packet deleted can create havoc. For that issue, the contents of the package is not essential. I have vague memory, that is was some sort of bit fiddling, possibly searching for the highest 1-bit in a word. My memory may be wrong, and it is insignificant for the real problem of dependencies.
Edit:
My memory was wrong - so if I had presented it in the original post, it would have been misleading. The module creating most problems were 'left-pad', a rather trivial string function for right justifying a text.

Here is an example of what is happening
" How much is one plus one ?"
since the sentence ends with "?" it is a question.
answer
" RTFM
you have asked this before
it takes brain...
can you follow instruction ?
if you cannot follow the instruction ...
go back to school
"
can anybody see that one and one is two ?
I am pointing out that the made up , example "answer", did not contain
" one and one is two ".
I have been putting up with the above attitude , "answers" posted by a person signing as "software engineer of company X ".
Posted by a person who is getting paid by the company X.
I quit responding to this (jerk) , however, in today's world business GENERALLY react ,
respond to negative review.
Should I send one to the company X?
I prefer NOT , I assume "they" do not care.
End of rant
Have a swell day

I found a long time ago, if someone is uphappy they want everyone aound them to be unhappy.
They cause a scene because they want you to react. If you don't react they will eventually move on to someone else.
The internet just makes it easier for them to reach out and touch someone.

I someone wants to present themself as a jackass while representing company X then, YES, let company X know what a jackass they are. I would not hesitate for second.
