This is intentional behaviour. The UK federation imports eduGAIN
entities and re-publishes them into its production metadata aggregate.
However we operate an opt-in to export metadata to eduGAIN rather than
export the whole aggregate. This arrangement means the opt-in is a
straightforward administrative decision rather than one that requires
reconfiguring the entity.

FWIW SWAMID does exactly the same thing and I think its entirely reasonable.

And, is anywhere a list of national federations which are reasonably broken? ;)
