No, it doesn't, but as Peter was saying, if you can stuff WS-Fed
configuration in the SAML 2.0 metadata of an entity without breaking it,
then you are done.

eduGAIN is structured to support SAML 2. The same is true for FaaS.
Moreover, for FaaS I think Jagger will not let you register metadata it
does not understand (read WS-Fed), but maybe Janjanusz Ulanowski --- the
Jagger developer --- can comment on this?
