And show me please what's Y2K uncompliant in this, for example: whois -h whois-ripe181.ra.net AS701 aut-num: AS701 as-name: AMUFSOFU descr: Alternet admin-c: Not available tech-c: See MAINT-AS701 mnt-by: MAINT-AS701 changed: DB-admin@merit.edu 950201 source: RADB ??? _Changed_ field is here the only suspected field, and 99% software don't use this field in the request development. And so on. If some product is not 100% Y2K ready, it does not mean it can't work in 2000 year. And vice versa, btw. may be, someone from nanog have some statistic showing how people are stopping to use old ripe181 server and begin to use new one? If really a few use old interface, I apologize.
