Yes, I'm being generic. A federation can be anything you use to facilitate
this, my point is just that we designed for that approach, not for
explicitly dropping each piece of metadata into a directory, because we do
NOT want people relying on anything but the metadata for revocation and
preventing other exposures.

While testing, of course, that's pretty common, but in that case it's quite
easy to just put everything into one file, like a "partners-metadata.xml" or
something.

The other problem is paralysis by analysis, so don't hesitate to do
something useful.
