So are we to now assume that whois is no longer a critical resource? Here's hoping that there aren't any network problems during those 4 hours where we actually need to be able to track the problem back to its original source. I'd really like to know why this is occuring, why there isn't going to be an offiste backup in place since this is a planned outage, or better yet, why there isn't a permanent offsite backup facility.
