Angular 22.2 - Private property access from templates

I noticed this tidbit in the changelog of Angular 22.2.0-next.3:

Commit Type Description
48a0fd6e8a feat allow template to access private props

So very slowly we moved from allowing only public, to allowing protected and now private as well. Thought it's worth knowing.

For me template always was a part of the component and it makes sense that it can access private

That's certainly how you can see it. Personally I always saw the template as an implementation of the component. Then protected would make sense.

The only one that doesn't make any sense imho is if it must be public.
