EDS and non-default values for policy parameter

[Scott Koranda]

Hello,

Right now the Shibboleth EDS (version 1.1.0) includes this
logic:

if (policy != 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:profiles:SSO:idpdiscovery-protocol:single') {
            fatal(getLocalizedMessage('fatal.wrongProtocol'));
            return false;
        }

Will the Shibboleth dev team entertain an RFE for a configuration option, say

this.ignoreNonDefaultPolicy = false;

such that when the option is set to true the EDS would simply ignore 
any value for the policy parameter?

The need here is to "mix" or "combine" the EDS with other custom code to make
a single discovery service that does consume and act on other values
for the policy protocol. As such it would be helpful if the "EDS part" of
the discovery service did not fail when a policy parameter is present
but is not the protocol default.

If the team will entertain such an RFE let me know please and I will file
the JIRA.

Thanks,

Scott K

P.S. To be clear, this is NOT a request from the LIGO project.
