I believe that at least SIDN used to (and perhaps still does) - this
was one of the reasons that the CDS record is actually CDS/CDNSKEY.

When I first heard this I was confused as to why they'd do this -- but
then Antoin Verschuren / Cristian explained that they'd like to make
sure that a good hash is being used, and suddenly I started wondering
why this isn't the default...:-)

I *think* that someone from .ca (perhaps Jacques or Matt) said that
they also allow DNSKEYs -- but this is all from 2014 timetrams, and my
memory is (sadly) paging that out...

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
