Yeah, there's nothing stopping us from promoting a function from private to public.

It seems better to put a function in private unless you know you'll need it in
the public API. We do enough versioning of functions as it is, better to let an
API develop in private with our own internal usage and promote it to public when
needed then have a potentially unbaked call sit in public that we need to
maintain the ABI.
