Hello,

we have discovered that UK federation republishes all entities from 
eduGAIN into their metadata:
        http://metadata.ukfederation.org.uk/ukfederation-metadata.xml
but they are not doing oposite. So entites from UK federation are not 
being republished into eduGAIN.

I think this could confuse users. By a short experimenting I've found SP 
https://www.scran.ac.uk/ which offer login by using CESNET, Univerzita 
Karlova v Praze, ... IdP but those login will always fail because 
https://www.scran.ac.uk/ is not being exported into eduGAIN, our IdP 
doesn't know about https://www.scran.ac.uk/ and refuses login. Poor 
user, poor IdP admin who has to explain to users.

Is this intentional or is this a bug?
