We should be careful we don't don't turn that into "Mozilla doesn't
implement CT, so Mozilla has to allow CNNIC back in without requiring CT,
even if it would be clearly less safe to do so." A better interpretation
would be "Mozilla can't let CNNIC back in until it implements CT or
similar, because doing so would be clearly less safe."

By the way, what is Firefox's market share in China and other places that
commonly use CNNIC-issued certificates? My understanding is that it is
close to 0%. That's why it was relatively easy to remove them in the first
place. It also means that there's no need to rush to add them back, AFAICT.

Cheers,
Brian
