Hi,

I while ago, I said we should move most of the user-facing domains to
be CNAMEs.

Someone decided to go ahead and do that for all the domains.  Without
regard for how it might affect SPF.  But whatever.

But, recently, someone decided to change the bare parabola.nu over to
a CNAME.  THAT WAS A BAD IDEA.  A CNAME cannot coexist with any other
records.

Fine, mistakes happen.  But WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU DO!  On the bug
tracker or the mailing list.
