I don't see any reason why we would want to take that risk.

It's not easy to spin up a new CA, but it's also not rocket surgery.
Why should we prefer to re-admit a previously distrusted organisation
over taking a chance with someone new and untried ? Is there a shortage
of organisations interested in this role ? I don't think so.

Running a publicly trusted CA is not a right which was temporarily
suspended, it's a privilege you might earn, Mozilla should operate with
a default assumption that losing this privilege is permanent.
