My understanding is if I remove the \"private\" tag, publish and then run `npm access restricted` that the package may be public for a few min based upon reading this: \r\n\r\nhttps://www.npmjs.com/private-modules\r\n\r\nwhich says \"The package will be removed from listings on the site within a few minutes of making it private.\"\r\n\r\nIf this is incorrect or the process for publishing a module directly to private mode is different please let me know."}}
