Hello all,

Since v3.3, a SpotLocation or LinearLocation can only contain LinearCoordinates or GeometricCoordinates.

This means that if we want to supply both LinearCoordinates and GeometricCoordinates for a NetEntity, we'll need to create 2 SpotLocations with the same IntrinsicCoordinate and other attributes. This effectively changes the conceptual meaning of SpotLocation to one that is specifically tied to a PositioningSystem.

What was the reason for this chance?

This seems wasteful and a possible source for mistakes. Can we roll this back in the next version (or preferably, even doing a bugfix on the 3.3 version)?
