Is that all the justification you can provide? Sorry, not convincing.
-private exists for a reason and the reason still does exist.
And I cannot see much value that outside world would get from having
read access to -private but a much more serious problem with
practically uncontrolled disclosure of information that was guaranteed to
be not for public use until the end of days.
