shibboleth vs those "other" idps

[IAM David Bantz]

I hope it goes without saying, but just in case:
I'm convinced, on board, and proselytizing for Shibboleth;
I really appreciate Scott's points.  I'm looking for reasons
and stories that may be more persuasive to the skeptics
and "brand-loyalty" I encounter.  "Brand loyalty" includes
the Ellucian/Banner tilt mentioned, Google whatever, existing
CAS deployment, as well as in-house developed one-offs.
