why not? ;)
No really, just habit - company standards where I've worked in past etc.
Changing it can't break BWC as it can only make the class more visible
not less visible.
I suppose it could expose the class more than was intended, but again
the only real rationale for this was that I was looking at the class and
it's completely automatic (for me) to specify an exact access modifier
for everything as shows your exact intentions.
I can understand if there's a problem with changing it and it breaks
stuff, I won't do it again, but I basically was on autopilot for that
particular change.
Also to be fair only a few classes are defined without any modifier - I
assumed this was a historical oddity and was breaking style.
Rambling now ... never mind
