I am employed by an organisation who does this. 

I strongly oppose any work being done to slacken the restrictions around
CNAMES.  At least in order to bodge together a fix for the "CDN problem".

I would much much rather see RFC 7553 URI support.  

A little quote from the applicability statement in 7553: 

   In general, it is expected that URI records will be used by clients
   for applications where the relevant protocol to be used is known,
   but, for example, an extra abstraction is needed in order to separate
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   a domain name from a point of service (as addressed by the URI).  One
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   example of such a situation is when an organization has many domain
   names but only one official web page.

		(my underlining)

But, I am certain that the fine disillusion^W^Wrealists in the hosting
world will tell me that some DNS-frontend software does not support
anything but CNAME, so CNAME it is.  And we'll do the entire shouting
game that we had around SRV/TXT once again.

Typ^W^WApex-squatting for fun and profit.
