So who's bright idea was it to break the important operational WHOIS
service!?!?!? Did anyone even think of asking the people who operate the
various Internet networks whether this was a good idea?

There is a new procedure for your whois lookups.  First do a:
whois -hwhois.crsnic.net $domain
that will tell you what whois server to use for lookups (such as
whois.register.com or rs.internic.net ...)
then use that whois server for your lookup.

domainwatch.com has been modified a bit to do the above.
