The latter.

Yes, but I think it will be harder to do by accident. I just don't
want something like
target_link_libraries(somelib lib1 lib2 ${OTHER_LIBS})
to invisibly change based on OTHER_LIBS. I think the new signature
will be more commonly used explicitly:
target_link_libraries(somelib LINK_PRIVATE lib1
LINK_PUBLIC lib2 ${OTHER_LIBS})
