It would be harmless, but if the only option for them to get to two logs is
to run their own, I don't see the point in requiring them to if we're not
going to really regard it as trusted. (Which at least I wouldn't. I'd
regard it as "A log I expect to be manipulated as soon as it is financially
expedient to do so.")

Unless we're proverbially doing it to give them more rope to hang
themselves with, so they get punished worse if they manipulate their log
like their CA issuance. But I'm not keen on that idea since we're
retroactively finding them putting users at risk, and this would be even
moreso.
