Yes... And no.  It will allow the OpenSRS whois to work in real time, where
as the root's whois is a couple days lagged.  When I moved my first domain
from NetSol to OpenSRS, I actually had it on opensrs, made one DNS update
(Which NetSol hadn't bothered to do for over a week before my transfer
request went in -- That's why I transferred, I needed my site up!), realized
my typo (After the root servers loaded the bad data), and fixed the typo,
and actually saw the domain propagate before the root's whois updated
properly.

In short, the root's whois is slow.  NetSol's whois is slow.  OpenSRS is
normally pretty sweet.
