There's also a fair number of points dealing with who can sign and for
what while Symantec spins up the new roots (which the Google proposal
says a trusted third party CA signed by Symantec").

I'm against this point specifically because third-party CA operations is
how we got into this mess. I rather cap new certificate length from the
existing roots as both a way to light a fire under Symantec and to avoid
the same old mistakes.
