A mass migration of a protocol? No, not really.

Has nothing to do with it being required, it has to do with bad software, bad applications, or bad deployments (or all of the above).

These aren't metadata matters, they're deployment issues. Supporting protocols seamlessly is not a feature of most software outside of Shibboleth and maybe SSP and even when it is, it's not necessarily handled properly when it comes to application integration.
