We aren't sure at this point. DigiCert already runs two (almost three) logs.
Symantec runs two logs.  Although CT plans are still under discussion, I
don't think the ecosystem needs four CT logs operated by a single CA.
Regardless, we'll do whatever is best to support CT and the DigiCert and
Symantec customer-base. Likely, we'll compare infrastructure and keep the
best performing logs. We'll definitely run a differential between the logs
and consult with the community before anything is done with existing logs.

Hi Jeremy,

A similar question regarding Symantec's CT log infrastructure. Are they part
of the deal and do you plan to continue hosting them?

Thanks,
