Update
We're continuing to look into this issue. For most users, we're at 100% functionality. Some, unfortunately, will see 404s.
We are seeing a pattern with packages that have the word "error" in their name.
Just a reminder that we recommend using `npm ci` and not `npm i` in your automated CI/CD pipelines.
And, please, help me in thanking our engineering staff. They have delivered fast teamwork from around the world in response to your reports. We really appreciate the community feedback.

Investigating
We are investigating a separate issue where some users are noticing 404's, and we're noticing different results depending on location.

It seems like this occurs on packages with `error` in their name, and varies by location.

Thank you for your patience while we investigate further.
