I expected this much, in this case I would expect that a separate 
eduGAIN feed, or even and option - take just the UK Feed or another one 
which is aggregated with UK could be easer for them to handle.

I wonder what mess we will get into when the same SP starts getting the 
same entities from several federations that this SP is a member of.
