My position is that, over time, any functionality that is useful to add
we'll add, but the priority for the initial releases of 2.0 are the features
required by Shibboleth and that make sense to factor out.

I would expect a decent amount of binding related logic and less in the way
of profile logic, apart from the browser profiles. Most of the other
profiles don't mandate behavior or message content to a significant degree,
so they probably don't have much code at this level.
