How is using the hash more conservative about privacy, except in zones that are signed with NSEC instead of the more common NSEC3? If you assume zones signed with NSEC3, both options are equally susceptible to dictionary-based guessing attacks, given that the effort to create search dictionaries for the billion of common LHS names is pretty low even for hashes.
