Once upon a time...
 
Who and Whom are no longer part of modern english rules.
They are the appendix and coccyx of English. The remainders of a previous incarnation (Germanic), whiich included explicit and complete accusative and dative forms for prepositions.

To whom is this addressed? Wherefore dost thou ask?
