    There's also a whois implementation in GNU Inetutils, although it
    doesn't seem to get packaged for some distros (inc. Debian).

    I don't think it was installed by default on openSUSE either, but it is
    written down in my installation cheat sheet :-)

    Yes! It may have been rolled into something else like "ifconfig" was

    Not exactly.

    ifconfig is in a package named "net-tools-deprecated-2.0+git20170221.479bb4a-3.11.x86_64", a name
    designed to make it clear that you should not install it and why.

    whois is simply not installed by default, but it is in one of the
    optional patterns, possibly network or admin tools.
