Niels' point was that looking at the existing metadata does not tell
you whether federation A does not category X in general/principal or
whether they simple don't have any entities in that category in their
eduGAIN export feed at this time.

The only point of looking at existing metadata (or the eduGAIN
database) would be to reduce the set of federations having to talk to
asking them whether what categories they do [not] support and why not.
