How was that ruled out? AFAIK (and I'm implementing it this week, so it is hopefully the case...) public projects can opt in to default-private or exclusively-private bugs and branches with no problem, it's just that private projects will be restricted to exclusively-private. > * Once a private project is made public it's not just the bugs and > branches that need to stay private.

Well, the project maintainer could also copy and paste the comment into a public bug. We can't stop them from deliberately leaking it one way or another, so the question is not whether we should allow it, but rather whether we should arbitrarily make it more awkward. I suspect we shouldn't. > * Is it simpler to disable karma for private projects rather than > deal with the potential for leaks? AFAIK the only place we expose karma context information outside the context project is in the "Most active in" list on Person:+index, and there are other similar non-karma-derived lists like that that need filtering anyway. I don't really see karma as a special case here. Person:+karma reveals the timestamp and type of the action, but no detail about which objects were involved. > I'd welcome your thoughts on these. After a quick glance over the LEP, I'd be extremely wary of the user story about daily builds of private branches. It may be desirable, but it's a significant chunk of work in codehosting and the build farm, when neither component would otherwise be touched by the Private Projects work.
