Description
Tracking bug for reconsidering whether we should let rooms arbitrarily change 'flavour' between 1:1, private group chat and public chatrooms. The main reason for considering preventing this is to simplify the UX of clients - however, the restriction would have to be imposed at the Matrix level to prevent inconsistent/unexpected behaviour throughout the network. https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2018/05/16/banquets-and-barbecues/ contains more of the backstory.
We already have some old bugs discussing this which I need to track down and add here.
