It strikes me as stupid to package the ripe whois client to have
it point to the one database that is the *least* working one of
all besides arin and for that crappy thing you don't need such a
powerful whois client. ;-)
It's personal, I am usually looking up AS numbers, inetnum
objects and the like and whois -a is worth some thousands
of dollar each year. You hardly need to specify the database
with -a, ripe makes it possible.
If not you're in that "business" (BGP is your friend etc.),
you feel lucky, ok? ,-)
