Agree that this is undesirable. But the current situation is equally 
undesirable, because the feeling is that we as a federation are 
acting wrong because we don't provide to our members the right 
metadata aggregate needed to make the parties in touch. I'm thinking 
that a possibility to balance the metadata exchange is to import in 
the edugain2idem metadata stream also all the SPs present in the 
UKfederation. Unless you want to register all your SPs in eduGAIN.
