That all makes sense, and I was admittedly only thinking of the private
cloud use case. So, I'd like to discuss the public and private use cases
separately:

In a public cloud, is there a real use case for revealing *any* IdPs
publicly? If not, the entire list should be made "private" using
policy.json, which we already support today.

In a private cloud, is there a real use case for fine-grained
public/private attributes per IdP? (The stated use case was for a public
cloud.) It seems the default behavior should be that horizon fetches the
entire list from keystone.
