So the problem isn't with CNAME records, but people doing stupid things
and so of course one solution is to prevent them from having CNAMEs,
wouldn't it just make more sense to have triggers or something in the
database prevent people from shooting themselves in the foot rather then
reducing features?

Perhaps I learnt from bind prior to using PDNS, but now that you explain
it this way I remember upgrading between bind versions and transfers
work with one version and not the new version. It was a very long time
ago so details are a bit hazy.
