OK. Question for group: would it make sense to add the intermediate(s)
that GlobalSign is using for this purpose directly to the Mozilla trust
store, with the EV bit enabled, and then remove the EV bit from the
roots now owned by Google Trust Services?

This would scope EV permissions more closely to the audits, and so
prevent Google from accidentally or intentionally issuing EV which was
shown as such in Firefox, without having an EV audit.
