Hello,

I was wondering why the ets holding application envs is public : 
ets:new(ac_tab, [set, public, named_table]) (from application_controller) ?

Reading of envs is done by plain ets reads and setting envs is done by 
call to gen_server.
So it seems protected access shuold be enough.

My question is:

Why is it public ?

Thanks in advance
