# MSC3844: Remove "Mjolnir" (policy room) sharing mechanism | ||
|
||
Way back when [MSC2313](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2313) was written, | ||
it included a [sharing](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/client-server-api/#sharing-1) mechanism that | ||
never got used. | ||
|
||
That sharing mechanism is to be removed from the specification due to lack of use and questionable | ||
technical approach. In practice, users and implementations have been handing out room aliases to | ||
policy rooms just fine. | ||
|
||
Normally an MSC would propose deprecation followed by eventual removal, however seeing as the core | ||
team is aware of exactly zero implementations of this feature it feels safe to just outright remove. |
