I can see that it's out of date, but I also honestly don't know if that
is a problem. As far as I can see it's still working in the installation
of my former employer. But I wasn't able to get anyone from that
organisation to take a look at this adoption bug so far.
The only specific WP6 compatibility issue I can find is

This comment is referenced as a potential security improvement:
https://github.com/michaelryanmcneill/shibboleth/pull/92/commits/c51f5226d6629b9cff07c2ab6ad68e281d7c98ca
but it's not clear really what the impact of fix not being included is,
under what conditions.

It clearly needs attention by someone who has a vested interest,
but I don't know if it should be removed yet. Orphaning is clearly
overdue on my part; this email should fix that.
