Comment:

 ah. hum. well there's already a problem here:
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNAME_record#Restrictions having other data
 on a CNAME record is not allowed] (see also
 [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1912#section-2.4 RFC1912 section 2.4]).

 right now we have this:

 {{{
 ooni                    IN      CNAME   ooni.io.
 }}}

 so even if i can add such a record, it's not actually legal and might
 break stuff...

 are you sure this is actually what google is asking you?

 i could turn the `CNAME` into a `A` record (pointing to what?) and be able
 to add that `TXT` record though...
