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.

How can Dash "disable" RBF if it was never implemented?

The "RBF Is Harmful" FUD is 100% pure buttcoiner trolling and -Classic propaganda.

There are several versions (first seen is the most conservative approach, full RBF is most radical), but don't let stop you from painting the entire range of functionality with your extra-broad "harmful" brush.

CLTV only works in Dash's testnet, while it's been working in Bitcoin's production network for months.

Altcoins are supposed to be Bitcoin's laboratories of experimentation and bring features to market sooner, not later, than the Mother Blockchain. EG, VIAcoin pioneered CLTV while DashHoles where photoshopping Coke machines.

Same point goes for SEGWIT, and other upcoming features like MAST and Schnorr sigs. It's pathetic that an altcoin with "easy hard forks" is following rather than leading.
