💁 Possible Solution
Is there something that happened, which caused this package to be deprecated as setting in NPM?
🔦 Context
We built a design system based on these dependencies and just got to a first iteration. It's disconcerting if this is already deprecated.
🌍 Your Environment
Not relevant in this case.
The fast-components package, the “styled” controls, was deprecated in (I believe 2022) to avoid confusion of having an alternative design system to Fluent from Microsoft. The foundation package and fast-element all remain supported from this project. When I’m back at my computer I can find the PR with the description which is a bit more robust. We also notified the community through discord.
With that said, out of this effort, an evolution of the fast-components was sprouted. That package/project is Open Source, was started on the initial code from fast-components, is maintained by core contributors to FAST, and includes all the adaptive UI work previously there. @bheston can provide more details on the Adaptive Web Components package.

Thanks @chrisdholt for your prompt reply, it's been a relief! 😊

Well I believe then the documentation should be updated: https://www.fast.design/docs/integrations/react#configuring-packages
It literally says npm install --save @microsoft/fast-components @microsoft/fast-foundation @microsoft/fast-element @microsoft/fast-react-wrapper but the @microsoft/fast-components are deprecated... I am not quite sure now, if fast-element resolves some of the issues that were in there with the fast-components (eslint related issues) or not. Another thing, I saw "somewhere" in the doc mention about the fast-elements, but right now cannot find that again... But, everywhere in the doc its populated with fast-element... I believe, this is a "breaking change" that should be addressed in the documentation but its not...
Documentation is being updated for the launch of @microsoft/fast-element v2.
