I'm saying that we would only support the IdP using the jars we ship it
with, there would be no question about that.

But I am not saying it's been tested, no. We tested it with the version we
shipped with, that's all, no idea what else it works with. I would be
surprised if there are any significant issues, so I don't know what the OP
ran into.

That definitely won't be happening with V2 unless we did another minor
upgrade, and there are no plans for that.

The current POMs are using 3.2.1.
