That's the way you're supposed to do it, return a different query object,
not alter the one that is being passed in. If wanted you to modify the
input query, we would not have added
a return Query, changing the one we pass as an input would have been
suffiicient ;-)

The code above looks old though... right now we are doing something
different:

This is by design, if you are building a feature collection that has a
different feature type (as in, completely different) you're then breaking
the API contract, I'm surprised the client can
work at all with that scenario.
It's different if they client is asking for less properties of course, in
that case you can tell ContentFeatureSource that you can do retyping (there
is a method you can override, lot of "canXYZ" methods in there that you can
override to declare a specific capability in your implementation).
