> - Their work-around(s) are silly. They are essentially "then use someone else" or "register every single possible sub-domain." No opt-out.

"Use someone else" is the opt-out, whether you take it to mean "use another registrar" or use "other, non-gratis DNS services.

Your other option is to use a wildcard, as I think you understand (though your "register every single possible sub-domain" is a bit misleading).

This behavior sucks, but if it's something that bothers you, you're probably the type that should be using a better DNS provider, anyways. That said, I'm a happy customer of name.com.

Using a different nameservice provider only treats the symptom. Name.com is still breaking the internet with this practice.
