Ok, that makes sense. I know that CAS 4.x has been in planning for
quite some time though, and perhaps there's still time to update the
dependency..

I think that having one of a security product's dependency as
unsupported is a pretty big deal and shouldn't be marginalized. From
their own wiki[1], they state: There is NO support of any kind,
including security fixes, for any previous releases. So, if they
should happen to find a bug in their 1.1 support shim/mechanism they
will not fix it in our branch. It also seems unlikely that they would
notify the 1.1 community that they may be affected.. This seems to me
to have fail written all over it.

I'm not aware of any existing bugs that would themselves warrant an
update to OpenSAML 2.x.
