This totally makes sense. Actually the work has been done in the past 
for a couple of classes, but - as you mention - not the majority. I'm 
globally all for it, you must just remember that it is a difficult 
exercise as the risk of breaking existing stuff is very real: you never 
know what public variable people may access in their extensions.

Given the potential for breaking existing stuff, it seems safer to me to 
do such a massive cleanup in 4.6.

Cheers
