I believe that's her suggestion, yes.

The volume of validations Symantec needs to do is a concern; I believe
this is why Google are permitting a phased introduction to the
requirement that the validations be redone. One way to avoid this
problem is, well, not requiring that the validations be redone, or
allowing Symantec personnel to continue doing them.

This would mean allowing Symantec to run the new PKI from some form of
their old infrastructure. That seems to defeat a lot of the point of
requiring a new one.
