Also thanks to Mikael for shepherding the CoCo.

I was hoping to be the first federation that publishes IdPs with this
entity attribute when I implemented that this morning...
But apparently Peter also has done the same within the last few hours.
So there are now Austrian and Swiss IdPs with the CoCo support flag in
the eduGAIN metadata.

But at least we win by numbers :-)
(13 Swiss IdPs vs "only" 3 AustrianIdPs declaring CoCo support)

The race for rank 3 is still open and in general I hope that the CoCo
adoption, both on SP and IdP side, increases quickly.


Best Regards
Lukas
