Hrm.  Yeah, I was worried about that.  I thought we had generally fixed
it in our released code, which we did, sorta.  So there are two questions
at least:

a) how long are we going to support 3.0.x?  we do 0 bug fix backports now
   except for security fixes because we expect people either to upgrade to 3.1
   or distributors who only give out 3.0.x to do any bug fixes as necessary.

b) should we do a 3.0.7 release to fix this bug, let that be out there
   for a while, and then either reach the point where we decide (a) has
   passed or a couple of months from now where everyone has a chance to
   get the new version -- we really only care about new installations
   and not already installed sites.

I changed the record back to the A/TXT version, with an updated A record
appropriately.  I'd really like to avoid future "issues.a.o changes IP"
problems (which have bitten us each time, at least twice, in the past
year,) by fixing the record to be a CNAME.
