But surely CT testing is not the only sort of testing you've been doing?
E.g. you made some test certificates with different types of ECC curve,
which you then had to revoke some of as against browser policies. If
these had been in a testing hierarchy there would have been no problem.

CAs have been heavily criticised over the past few years for issuing
test certificates in public hierarchies (see e.g. Symantec). The danger
of doing so should be well known to all CAs by now.

Perhaps once a test has been passed and checked in a testing system, and
if the certificates concerned do not violate any policies, it could be
repeated on a production system to deal with any possible differences
between the two. But starting with the production system is not a good idea.
