>These down votes reflect a perception of the present without a context for the past

I think rather the comments in support of an open Whois are looking at the past with overwhelming nostalgia instead of objective reality.

To your own point, the Web is a very different place now. But Whois is still the same, reflecting a reality that no longer exists. It's time for a change.

I don't think that comment was supporting open whois, just giving a historical context.
