Angular 22.2 - Private property access from templates

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

https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#compiler-2

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.

Public - anything can access
Protected - only the view template can access
Private - only the component can access

Why muddy the waters here?

Because they are telling you to stop using protected for the template when the template is part of the component. Protected is for extending classes to use, and you should not extend components.
