Despite RWhois being really old, creaky, and hard to use; people are using
it and there is no current replacement (Whois-RWS looks extremely
promising). To that end, we are working with VeriSign Inc to migrate the
domain rwhois.net to ARIN. We moved the website to ARIN a couple of years
ago but the domain has not yet made it.
