This is the main reason why I haven't bothered switching to GAE for my static website. AWS + S3 + Route 53 allows hosting naked domains: http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2012/12/27/root-do...

CloudFront allows naked domains, so you can use naked domains for almost anything if you place a layer of CF before it.

For example, for this case of GAE, you can use

  Naked domains <=> CloudFront <=> GAE

DNSimple allows you to use naked domains with cloud services, without using a CNAME.
