[OpenLayers-Dev] Feature introduced in #2340 - why not public?

[Björn Harrtell]

I wanted something like the feature introduced in
http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/2340 which I found only after making
a hack myself that did the same thing. I missed the existing
implementation because it's not marked as API and as such not included
in the public API docs.

Any specific reason to not make this feature (setLayer method on
SelectFeature Control) available in public API?
