Did someone ask for more feedback?

Overall, I'm pretty -1 on this proposal. I never really liked the fileprivate 
solution of scope being created to match (in my mind not quite related) file 
system/organizational boundaries of files–but it was the best compromise we 
could come up with at the time (I’m up for improvements, but I fear that it’s 
too late to change now). The issue with directoryprivate/folderprivate is that 
it takes these issues from fileprivate and compounds across many files. With 
one file it’s easy to figure out what’s going on, but once you have a more than 
a few than keeping track of access between them becomes a pain.
