Description
Pull request #219 used [MSC3266: Room summary API](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/3266) to display information about rooms. That MSC has not yet passed FCP and is not enabled by default on homeservers.
However, [MSC2946: Spaces Summary](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2946) _has_ passed FCP and _is_ enabled by default in Synapse.
It _should_ be possible to use MSC2946 instead of MSC3266 to get the same information, but in a way that is formally part of the Matrix spec, and thus more widely supported.
