When trying to make wikidata.org work without the leading www (bug 41847), it
was discovered that bits.wikimedia.org only works with CNAME domains. The
relevant comment (<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41847#c12>):
> > We can't _not_ have www because of bits.

> Can you explain further? Plenty of wikis don't use "www"
> (commons.wikimedia.org, wikimediafoundation.org, etc.). I don't understand
> the
> issue.
<mutante> we cant NOT have www due to the way bits works
<Reedy_> why? :/
<mutante> due to the way bits works and geolocation
<mutante> it needs a CNAME .. and NOT an A record
<mutante> but wikidata.org is an A record
<mutante> wikimediafoundation.org only works because it is not balanced between
data centers at all
