RBF has been disabled as we consider it harmful

How so?

Double spending with 0-conf can already be done through tools like the ones Peter Todd used against coinbase, without RBF. It's not RBF that makes 0-conf problematic: https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/40ejy8/peter_todd_with_my_doublespendpy_tool_with/cytlhh0

But RBF can be used to bump-up fees in order to get low-fee transactions unstuck.

I think in the case of Dash we need to consider the role InstantSend plays in locking transactions instantly and avoiding potential double spending.  Also Dash is still far from capacity so RBF could always be merged later on if it seems like it is needed, it would be good to see how it develops on the BTC network and how much people are using it.  This is not an official position just my personal opinion.
