Hello,

:::: So, logicall the "public" is "higher" on the evolution
:::: chain. Why is it the reverse?

Well, personally I am happy that phases exist in the first place;
they're a useful feature.

About the ordering, probably the developers just picked
the first one that made sense and stick to it,
without "bike shedding"[1] it further.

Why Should I Care What Color the Bikeshed Is?
The really, really short answer is that you should not.

Cheers,
