Only if there is some pressure applied, I’d expect. People — even people 
you’d expect to take this kind of thing seriously — often find it hard to 
prioritise something that doesn’t actually stop their service from working. I 
brought this issue up with at least one of the entity deployers some months 
ago, with no result.

I don’t think it is, at this point. I think it is a discussion we should be 
having, though. I’ve mentioned elsewhere that whatever eduGAIN does in this 
area, the UKf will be filtering those entities out after the end of the year. 
But eduGAIN having a common policy is obviously a much more powerful signal 
than just saying that the UKf has one.
