It's really just guessing though.
Maybe that "dirty laundry", in this case, is security-through-obscurity (maybe even with a TODO: this is insecure, fix it) or hardcoded values such as keys or ids that might compromise stability or security.
E.g. I normally open source everything from day one, but keep my Ansible (and before Chef) stuff behind closed doors: it's full of commits that would compromise security. E.g. "quick hardcoded list of private IP-addresses that can access the reporting Database until we have the VPC coupled to a VPN."
