If the Reddit admins don't want mods to have the ability to set a subreddit to private, then why did they even give them the option in the first place? Couldn't they just disable the "private" flag for all subs and be done with it?

I'm really surprised this isn't what they're doing. It has the same effect without causing a lot of strife and backstabbing that is surely just going to poison the well further.
