We haven't flipped the switch yet, but that's certainly a good warning.

I asked them to report it as a bug but also accomodated them for the time being.
I can also tell you why this has gone sideways: they informed me that they are converting their perfectly functional SimpleSAML.php deployment to a one-off they have built themselves on top of OpenSAML. I naturally told them that was a terrible idea, and all of these problems of course are the reason why.
