I wonder why, it's certainly in a format that doesn't make much sense
unless it's for being public.

That one isn't available without logging in, right?

Well, *if* this (or some other) mirror list gets announced somewhere, then
it's not just a list of mirrors, but a list of places where you can get
the stuff.
Which is why pandora belongs on the list, and which is why, IMHO,
security.debian.org also deserves mention - one could certainly mention
that mittors of it are not necessary (I suspect that goes only for public
mirrors, though - that is, the intent is avoiding problems serving our
customers with timely security-updates, nothing else).
