Which OS do you use?

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.
