Yes, we wanted to unify GeometryType and topologyId, by using the
topologyId as the internal representation. At least as I understand
such a decision, it implies, that the old representations become
deprecated, this means, deprecated method basicType() on the
GemetryType class and deprecation of interfaces directly using the
basicType or topologyId.
