This doesn’t seem accurate; new versions can be published immediately, altho the old version can never be republished.

Is this a new requirement?

Entirely unpublished packages have a 24 hour delay before they can be published again. This isn't particularly new, but it's not widely known, thus these docs.

ahhh ok so it’s only if there remains no published versions, then there’s a 24 hour delay?

Maybe the wording here could be like “fully unpublished” or “new versions of packages with every version unpublished”, so it’s clearer?

With the default registry (`registry.npmjs.org`), unpublish is
only allowed with versions published in the last 72 hours. Similarly,
new versions of unpublished packages may not be republished until 72 hours
have passed. If you are trying to unpublish a version published longer
ago than that, contact support@npmjs.com.

The scope is optional and follows the usual rules for `npm-scope(7)`.
