Okay, I'm going to request that shibboleth-sp and opensaml (as opposed to
opensaml2) be removed from the archive, then.  I'll send those requests
today.  They'll stick around in stable/oldstable for as long as those
distributions are supported.

We don't know yet either, but chances are high that we'll either freeze in
December targeting a release next spring or freeze in December of 2010
targeting a release in spring of 2011.  My current read of the project is
that the latter is more likely.  In either case, I don't think we want to
release Shib 1.x with squeeze.

Thanks!
