I do not relish your proposal of changing all abstract methods in interfaces to be declared redundantly public because of potential future features, even if such features are highly likely, we should have that discussion when those feature arrive.

The source in the java.util.function package uses "public default" for default methods. That source has been through a round of reviews strongly indicating this was the preferred approach. Mike, is that so?
