I can mention a real use-case that we had recently: a registrar of
".fr" simply wanted to check that the two databases agreed, so they
sent whois requests for every domain they manage. And asked us if
something was missing from their list.

They told us that it was part of a new quality policy, SOX, corporate
governance and so on.
