RISwhois is a whois interface to the RIS data, intended to provide
a quick look at the collected BGP data. Format is compatible with routing
registries so folk who have tools build on whois queries to IRR, can switch
to RIS transparently. Useful for IP->AS mappings, but also for a first peek at
BGP tables before diving deeper with other RIS tools (looking glass, prefix
query etc.)
See http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-47/presentations/ripe47-eof-riswhois…
As for the question:
>> Are there any good reasons to keep riswhois reporting default routes?
I think riswhois server should not do any filtering on the RIS data
If someone feeds RIS a default route, it should pop up in the
RRC looking glass, the RIS database and RISwhois. It's up to the
application to use it or ignore it.
If you don't want the currently present default route to appear
in ever riswhois query, use the -M flag:
whois -h riswhois.ripe.net -M <ip-number>
will only return you the longest matching prefix.

IMHO ris databases (or at least riswhois server) should simply ignore
default route (0.0.0.0/0).
Are there any good reasons to keep riswhois reporting default routes?

Dear All,
There will be an emergency maintenance on www.ris.ripe.net today. It will
start around 16.00 CEST. Purpose of the maintenance is to replace one of
the broken disk.
We expect to finish the maintenance today around 18.00 CEST. We will inform
you when everything is online again.
During the maintenance window, RIS applications and Rawdata will not be
available.
Apologies for the short notice.

Would it be possible to add current total number of rispeers somewhere in
the leading comments?
[whois -h riswhois.ripe.net 193.17.41.2]
I would like to create script for automatic queries of riswhois and (IMHO)
total number of contributing ris-peers would be handy for filtering out
"local routes".
e.g. ignore route to AS mappings reported by less tha half of ris-peers
