@CSDUMMI as mentioned [in chat](https://matrix.to/#/!JulKzqECYJNatWhrcY:matrix.org/%24n4psaQiuosdOwivEyNWdH2m2f34AV_SvTiVqckn5zXM?via=matrix.org&via=gottsnack.net&via=schinas.net), on Hacker News I bumped into [a discussion](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32104805) about Microsoft open-sourcing a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) project. Didn’t know what a SBOM meant, but it looks to be interesting for this project. I documented here. There are existing tools that can do the dependency analysis that this idea needs.
