I also don't see how it is any more of a security hole to enable this for private channels than it may be for public channels. What is the security risk?
I'll take a stab/guess at that... since private channels aren't reviewed by Roku, it's possible someone could develop a malicious channel (e.g., a fake Netflix or Amazon channel with the sole purpose of capturing usernames and passwords.. or worse). Allowing a user to install those channels easily via a screen that makes it look like it's officially available in the channel store could lead to very bad things, for both unsuspecting users and Roku.
