Remember that resource providers pay real money to use Athens. Moving to
pure Shibboleth will avoid them having to do so. Further, at least for new
developments or redevelopments, implementing Shib will (should) meet the
needs of the UK and much of the rest of the world, saving them from the
additional costs of implimenting Athens.
