I'd be interested to know which SPs they have (presumably collaborative 
ones?) where the SP actually does something with hide-from-discovery, if 
they also think they don't have a use case for CILogon.  Maybe they 
don't understand how hide-from-discovery works?

I would love to pursue a conversation with this IdP sideband to learn 
more.  Jim, if you could share details with me, I will dig deeper.

Thanks,

Nick
