Marsh, I understand your concern and I share it though I don't agree with the conclusion (re sticking head in the ground).
With that said GlobalSign has committed to implementing CT and we hope all other CAs agree to do the same as Adam points out earlier in this thread its the way to bring the desired transperancy.
That said it alone inst enough either, to start we also need TACK (and/or HSTS pinning), CAA, robust revocation checking and Name Constraints.
And while conversations like this are uncomfortable (certainly for me being on the receiving end) I think they help too.
