Now if you are telling me that most commercial CAs do not support name constraints, that would be a powerful argument to support reverting name constraints back to their original semantics.

As interesting as the name constraints tangent is, did it actually
address your question?

I assumed when you said "commercial CA" you meant something like
Verisign or Global sign &c.

But you could have meant a PKI environment like Entrust or Windows....
Actually I was interested in both
