The beta version doesn't support the SAML role yet... But anyway, it is
good news.

We are using the ADFS plugin for Shibboleth IdP 1.3 but we want to
upgrade our Shibboleth IdP to 2.x. The only thing that keeps us from
upgrading is the ADFSv1 plugin. So either we need to port that plugin to
Shib2 or we need to wait for the Geneva project and upgrade our current
ADFSv1 platform with all its dependencies  (I think the latter will last
longer).
