Sure, but...

- This implies it should work;
https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-your-pages-site-repository/#example-of-a-real-world-cname-file
- The CNAME should point to the general GitHub-Servers cluster, not 'our
almighty.github.io' domain.  (almighty.github.io is just an indirection
pointing to the same cluster)

almighty.github.io points to the general Github-servers. I assume they will
use the given HOST name to lookup in the 'default repo index', if not found
will do a lookup in 'our' provided CNAME index.
