The UK federation hasn't made any large-scale opt-outs for campus-only 
SPs etc. and we still have approx 1000 SPs in the eduGAIN aggregate.

I'm planning to ask a couple of the organizations that have many 
registered SPs to opt-out their entities where possible, and will let 
you know how we get on. However, I can't imagine that this will reduce 
the number of UK-registered SPs by more than 150. And just for context, 
we registered 21 SPs in January 2015 so any reduction in numbers will be 
replaced within a few months.
