Given https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wd40t7ad.aspx:

Caution Do not rely on strong names for security. They provide a unique identity only.

and

If you are an open-source developer and you want the identity benefits of a strong-named assembly, consider checking in the private key associated with an assembly into your source control system.

There's no reason to keep the private key private. Doing so complicates local development and forces forks and private branches to create their own, incompatible key.
