Integration of Discovery Service

Now long past being on-topic for this list, but attempts to move
ongoing discussions are usually futile... So:

Is that the point where federation operators start creating and
distributing JSON (or yaml or whathaveyou) "metadata", specifically to
allow SPs to keep presenting a list of IDPs?

Or is this the point where federation operators get out of that
business and leave it to SPs to create that? Punting that work to
producers of metadata aggregates wasn't the best idea to begin with
(as that only created the problem of one aggregate not satisfying any
specific SP's wishes for a curated list of IDPs in the first place.)
