### Use a separate state event for type of room
[MSC1840](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/1840) proposes the use
of a separate `m.room.type` state event to distinguish different room
types. This implies that rooms can dynamically switch between being a Space,
and being a regular non-Space room. That is not a usecase we consider useful,
and allowing it would impose significant complexity on client implementations.

This implies that rooms can dynamically switch between being a Space, and
being a regular non-Space room. That is not a usecase we consider useful, and
allowing it would impose significant complexity on client and server
implementations. Specifically, client and server implementations who store
spaces separately from rooms would have to support migrating back and forth
between them and dealing with the ambiguities of `room_id`s no longer pointing
to valid spaces, etc.
