I assume the recommendation would be to use pairwise-id (not subject-id)
for personalization, and eduPersonTargetedID as a fallback for IdPs or
SPs that don't support pairwise-id yet.

If a SP supports eduPersonTargetedID it has to be prepared to transition
to pairwise-id and preserve the personal accounts during that transition.

Best regards,
Bernd
