The actual wiring of a lot of specialized rules is much harder in Spring than writing a few lines of XML in a metadata file and letting the IdP chew on it. The only reason the SHA-1 change is not is that we pre-wired it with a bean you can just inject, so that specific case happens to be simpler.

No, but I would get it working first and then flip it back and verify that it doesn't actually work. Three guesses how often any of these vendors updates their documentation.
