using smaller spaces).
* The requirement that `m.room.parent` links be ignored unless the sender has a
high PL in the parent room could lead to suprising effects where a parent
link suddenly ceases to take effect because a user loses their PL in the
parent room. This is mitigated in the general case by honouring the parent
link when there is a corresponding `m.room.child` event, however it remains
a problem for "secret" rooms.
## Rejected alternatives
### Use a separate state event for type of room
