I should note that one can of course implement one's SMIMEA deployment
in exactly this way, something along the lines of:

   *._smimecert.example.net. IN SMIMEA 2 1 1 e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

would associate the same TA public key digest with every user, and would
not enable user enumeration.
