I dumped all I knew at the time into
https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/IDP-680

>From what I said there I seem to have believed when I wrote it that we could
move there stepwise "I believe that we can make this and the old style
configuration coexist".

But that was 18 months ago.

If you care its worth reading through that case since it tries to explain a
lot about what is weird in that world.  I'll happily carry the conversation
on here, or in dev, but I also welcome comments into that case since it
remains my "go to" place every time someone stumbles down this particular
sink-hole.

I'll take an AI to swap this stuff in again if people wish.
