Why is EntityKey defined uniquely to all Models in Unity?

Right now handling EntityKeys seems a little strange. If I receive a ClientModel EntityKey I can't work with it in a easy way when passing it to a function that requires let's say a MultiplayerModel EntityKey.

Should the EntityKey Model be moved to something like SharedModels due to the fact that it's the same across all model groups?

Thanks in advance!

This is actually a bug in the SDKs which we'll be fixing shortly.

First and foremost, sorry about the necroposting, but it's been a while and I don't see any fix in the last SDK, either in roadmap. I may missed something.
It's really painful, specially in terms of a clean coding, all the transmutations you must operate between EntityKey identical stuff. :(

Adding implicit operators relieve it a bit on the outside, but I don't think it's a proper solution, besides I'm overwriting the Playfab SDK.
