Description
If we supported SCTs here we could enable people wanting to do CT verification of the certificates they see.
We could either do this directly by taking a dependency on sct.rs and requiring certificate validation to take a set of sct::Logs. It's more integrated but less flexible.
Alternatively we could let callers access the SCTs given a EndEntityCert and do the verification themselves outside this crate, after they've done other checks.

Research direction
Start by reviewing EndEntityCert and the certificate-validation flow, then compare the two options described: adding an sct.rs dependency and accepting sct::Log values, or exposing SCTs for callers to verify externally. Done requires a decided API that supports accessing or verifying SCTs inside certificates; the issue does not name files or tests.
