Thank you (and Jason Lewis!) for pointing out the lack of 
actionable information regarding this announcement and its
impact on Bulk Whois.  I've chatted with Mark and Nate on 
the timing of this service change, and going forward we'll 
make sure to have replacement services fully deployed and 
verifiable by the community before announcing an end date 
for the current service.

Thanks again!
