Maybe I'm missing a step, in that case.  The documentation doesn't say -
as far as I remember - if there's anything special to do to get the
older files to be used, and they are ignored if I put them in the
configuration directory. The reference I found to it was in the area
about computed IDs, but I admit that I find the documentation very
confusing.

The attribute resolver format is unchanged between 2 and 3, so there's nothing you have to do at all.

The older relying party format works if you *upgrade*. The installer will automatically set the appropriate properties that allow that to work. It does not know to set them if you aren't upgrading, and we did not assume that anybody would be trying to do this by not updating the config tree and then trying to drop in an old file. If that's a common thing, then we need to figure out how to document it, but it's not really going to be in any obvious place.
