Why allow changing package-private to protected?

That is a retrograde step.

If the code works without exposing the variables as protected, then
keep it like that otherwise we cannot change implementation later.

IMO the main reason for using p-p access is allowing access outside a
class but without affecting the external API.

Only constants should be part of the public/protected API, and even
those should be carefully considered.
