Shibboleth Developers

[Chad La Joie <>]

Well, I think the problem is that there is quite a large SAML 1 only 
install base right now and a lot of them aren't show much sign of 
moving.  We still know there are a significant number of folks running 
Shib 1.3 and many of the other opensource IdPs are are SAML 1 only.

I would love to not have to do it though, just because I think people 
should move to SAML 2, I'm just not sure it's realistic.
