UX.
Obviously auto-joining can be a DoS vector, and we consider it to be antisocial
for a space to try to join its users to more than ~100 children.
for a space to try to autojoin its members to more than 100 children (in total).
Clients could display the auto-joined children in the room list whenever the
space appears in the list - thus helping users discover other rooms in a space
even if they're not joined to that space.
XXX: I still think it's more common that a space admin will want users to know
that a child exists (by showing it in the room list), rather than force them to
actually join it. So this would be an `advertise` flag or something on the child.
Matthew to discuss with Nad...
even if they're not joined to that space. For instance, if you join
`#matrix:matrix.org`, your client could show that room in the context of its
parent space, with that space's autojoined children shown alongside it as
siblings.
It may also be useful to have a way to "suggest" that members of a space
should join certain children (but without actually autojoining them) - to
advertise particular rooms more prominently than in the room directory.
However, this can be added in a later MSC if it's found to be needed in
practice.
