CNAME records for domain verification

It would be nice if you could allow for using CNAME records for domain verification.

Example:
hibp_s8stqti7w56477ulmvzid31k IN CNAME verify.haveibeenpwned.com

This way we can avoid polluting our domain apex with even more TXT records.

    Especially considering the TXT record is only required for verification and can then be removed, does this idea really solve anything? I'm not keen on the idea of using CNAMEs which have a specific functional purpose as opposed to TXT entries which are designed for arbitrary strings like this.
