This is because newbies don't need to know immediately all the different ways of configuring a database on Rails. The default is SQLite3 which'll work on most operating systems by default.

I am not a fan of the aesthetics of private/public at the root but more importantly, we should not be changing coding conventions with almost a decades worth of history at a whim.

That is not the case here, so this is being reverted.
