I'm saying that why would you use Keycloak if you already had a SAML
IDP? Does Keycloak provide enough additional value-add in that scenario
to justify us making a SAML "social" connector a priority?
I think it's a nice feature to allow users login with their account on a different
provider (whether or not its a KC realm, Google+, or a SAML IDP).
Also, shouldn't jboss.org be counted as one of the social "networks" we
support? I think adding some more professional social networks such as LinkedIn, GitHub
and jboss.org! would be good.
