CreateInstance now parent the instance to the same parent as the source

Breaking Changes

Before, if an object A was parented to an object B, the instance of A would have no parent.

We are fixing that behavior (as it is breaking rendering when used with glTF) and thus now the instance.parent === source.parent

Are vertices in the child assumed to be in the local space of the parent or in top-level space?

I think this is equivalent to asking: is it

child.parent = parent;

Or

child.setParent(parent);

The former

In the real world it’s: parent.makeChild(partner)

Should there be an option to keep the old behavior for compatibility?

Unless its

//...
protected makeChild(partner) { /*...*/}

And remember always avoid

//...
public makeChild(partner) { /*...*/}

As I consider this behavior a bug, I would not do that. If we have kept the original behavior by default and propose an option to use the new one, I would have been ok.

But here it is clearly a bug that we are fixing. And it is quite simple to restore previous behavior by setting instance.parent = null
