I'm amazed we have gotten this far without something like that happening. Critical infastructure is built ontop of this pile of software that is all being maintained by. If every major piece of infastructure (power plant, water treatment plant, etc) would dedicate 1 full time engineer to 1 open source dependency that they use, there would be more than enough man power to solve it.

We can't even support actual critical physical infrastructure anymore, like roads, bridges, and the power grid. And that stuff has very obvious immediate consequences when it breaks. Try explaining to your local octogenarian senator what xz is and why OpenSSH shouldn't just be funded by whatever spare change we find in the couch cushions.
