I work for a UK higher education institution. You may well have a point about SAML, but the UK education community is proceeding full speed ahead with federated access management (essentially Shibboleth, but that's not quite the official position). Right now, I would like to be able to easily Shibbolise Confluence and JIRA. By round about 2008, it'll be a purchasing requirement. Crowd potentially solves an important problem for us (as well as being Atlassian customers, we are Jive Software customers), but I am in that 2% of customers who need SAML. By the way, on your list of customers here, Universities make up quite a lot more than 2%.

Another vote for SAML. Regardless of the (no doubt valid) issues raised, my company heavily uses Google Apps and Google Apps current only supports SAML to my knowledge. It's tough for me to recommend Crowd if it doesn't support a major part of our infrastructure.

Just a quick note - I believe that Internet2 is currently working on integrating Confluence with Shibboleth, which you may be interested in:
