WHOWAS actually returns a sequence of 312/314 messages, e.g.

Currently we only use the final pair (as the previous entries in whoisinformation get overwritten). This is less informative and actually incorrect, as they are sorted in descending time order.

So when you write "support" in the summary, do you mean that we should display all the entries, or that we should just understand that the server is sending us several different results, and keep only the most recent one?
