# Hook for privately published posts?

 * I have a private post that is scheduled to be published later on. I would like
   to detect when it is eventually published using a plugin, but I can’t seem to
   find a hook that works.
 * publish_future_post doesn’t work
    future_to_private doesn’t work publish_post
   doesn’t work
 * Is there a hook like this that exists?

 * Why not `private_to_publish`?
