More to the point if your a commercial  organisation, / business which 
these changes are aimed at, you would have some kind of external 
monitoring, on the domain name pointing at an externl email address so 
if something was to go wrong with your DNS you would get a notification 
off the monitoring and far sooner then you would off some random 
stranger who just happened to stumble accross your website.
Your far less likely to get emails off customers and its far more likely 
they would just browse to your competitors if your sites down then 
bother telling you about it.
The Click frenzy v1 is a great example of this, where a lot of online 
retailers were just unprepared.
So having the mailing address visible in public whois is pointless 
really, its only used by registrars if they can't email for whatever 
reason so should be kept private.
