Yes - I'm referring to situations where dependencies/inputs/upstreams 
are brought in to a build without any control on versioning/provenance - 
for example when a build system expects to bring in dependencies from 
the internet, which may have changed or even disappeared since the last 
time.

So maybe better wording would be:

- builds are affected/modified by uncontrolled 
dependencies/inputs/upstream changes

Does that make sense?
