The National Software Reference Library has or had a listing of the

what is on installation media or what otherwise still has its
integrity intact.

I say "has or had" as on first glance it appears that this listing
is stationary since sometime in 2004.  Would someone here know the
history and fate of this list? 

The way I read it, the most recent release was made October 2006:
http://www.nsrl.nist.gov/Downloads.htm#isos

On the face of it such a list seems useful in forensic situations
at least.

Indeed. Most commercial forensic software comes with instructions on
how to use NSRL RDS with the software.
