Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-8369:
-------------------------------------

I don't think adding esoteric functionality (like non-WGS shapes) makes any 
kind of argument to pull basic lat/lon point searching out of core.

We could add 10x more such esoteric functionality and it doesn't change a 
thing. Such core use cases should work easily for users without wading thru 
extra jars, third party dependencies, crazy licensing, or crazy class 
hierarchies.

> Remove the spatial module as it is obsolete

> The "spatial" module is at this juncture nearly empty with only a couple 
> utilities that aren't used by anything in the entire codebase -- 
> GeoRelationUtils, and MortonEncoder.  Perhaps it should have been removed 
> earlier in LUCENE-7664 which was the removal of GeoPointField which was 
> essentially why the module existed.  Better late than never.
