I thought this was interesting to anyone using CloudFlare and/or into DNS, or those who are fans of dropping the www:

It's called CNAME Flattening and it's a bit geeky, but very useful and important if you’re using cloud-based services and you hate having a “www” subdomain. The gist is: you can now safely use a CNAME record, as opposed to an A record that points to a fixed IP address, as your root record in CloudFlare DNS without triggering a number of edge case error conditions because you’re violating the DNS spec.
