I would like to keep the rows and add whatever information we
do have, including this information. Yes, we should try to
indicate the level of certainty around the information for the
non-Shib/SSP implementation but I am not too concerned--I
don't think we intend the table to serve as a de facto
reference nor will anyone try to use it that way.

We all know how this is going to go--Shibboleth and
SimpleSAMLphp will lead on MDQ and be many years ahead of any
other products being used at scale by Federation participants.

We have stipulated that aggregates are not going away any time
soon and some accomodations will need to be made for the other
deployers, but we should not let that distract us from
crafting a roadmap addressing what can be accomplished for the
large majority of the community that runs Shibboleth/SSP.

Thanks,

Scott K
