 Replying to [comment:6 cypherpunks]:
 > It is just a matter of convenience getting the whois record can be done
 with other methods but I find it useful to find out who or where a certain
 relay is running. WHOIS records usually give you more information than the
 AS info.

 > As an option to solve the "space" problem you could include it and make
 it visible (expand) it after the user explicitly chooses to see it by
 clicking on "+" (like you frequently see on other pages). I would find
 this UI feature also useful for Exit Policy and MyFamily:

 The real space limitation isn't that Atlas couldn't display all the text,
 it's the number of bytes that full whois records would occupy in
 [https://onionoo.torproject.org/#details Onionoo's details documents].  If
 there are single lines in whois records that we can reliably parse and add
 to details documents, I'd say let's do it.  But adding the whole whois
 record is not an option.

 Closing as wontfix.
