This would require CAs and companies to disclose major product plans publicly well in advance of the time they would normally disclose them. I won't dig out the dates myself, or check the emails, but if you look for the following dates from publicly-available information: A) The date Google took control of the GlobalSign roots B) The date Google publicly announced GTS you will see there's quite a big delta. If you assume Google told Mozilla about event A) before it happened, then you can see the problem.
