I have lots of mission-critical SPs that we rely on InCommon for. If that didn't work, obviously InCommon would be in trouble.

AFAIK, InCommon has not yet exposed a production metadata query
server. The use case I have in mind works in conjunction with MDQ.

I previously posted the following pointer:
https://www.ukfederation.org.uk/content/Documents/MDQ

The above documentation page defines (by example) the notion of
"high-value entity." Please review this external doc so we can be on
the same page.

I hesitated posting this again since it may be misinterpreted. I am
not making a value judgment. I am simply pointing out that the largest
federation in the world is making this recommendation. If you step
back and think about it, it's actually quite reasonable to do. Whether
it catches on worldwide is another question.

Btw, I've added a similar example to the wiki:
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/x/YwbKAg

If you (the Shib dev team) don't think this is a Good Thing To Do,
please let me know so I can remove the example from the wiki.

Thanks,

Tom
