I feel that unless these integration issues are clearly resolved the Private 
folder will become a usability debacle.
I think that unless there is really good integration this feature should not be 
enabled by default. 

1. Presentation: to much technical wording at the moment, too much 
understanding of underlying mechanisms required
2. It's an irregular mount, unlike fstab or gvfs mounts. Not handled by 
nautilus unmount mechanisms; the copy not move issue, etc
3. Suid root, and hence not configurable and no localization possible
4. Filenames are not encrypted. This is suboptimal for a secure file vault 
feature.
5. Should be locked/unlocked in situ, i.e., directly in the view of the Private 
folder. This is only possible upstream, I think.
