What Hacker News says
2 sourcesThe big problem there is no easy and consistent way to query RDAP because there are no clients in Debian or Ubuntu. There is one in the experimental stage [1] in Debian, so perhaps in Debian 14?
And yes, I know, there are Perl-Apps [2], Go-Apps [3] and so on which can be installed within minutes. But this extra step (including debugging which happens when compiling/installing from source) isn't going to help RDAP to get traction.
