Comment (by toscho):

 Replying to [comment:49 jeremyfelt]:

 > * Most related objects in core have public properties. It's an
 expectation of sorts.

 This is one of the main causes for plugin incompatibilities. It is an
 extremely bad pattern.

 > * We're introducing this as the way to populate `$current_site`, which
 has assumed properties that have been stomped on for years. We risk
 breakage if we make those properties private all of a sudden.

 Then just use `__get( $name )`. That solves the problem without direct
 write access. Just make sure that a property is always the same, no matter
 when I'm calling it.
