I also don't like 'secret' very much.

At the Zurich sprint we discussed:

* personal: implies mostly private and non-shared to me, like a personal
  diary.

* grounded: like planes that are not allowed to take off. The emphasis
  is on the non-shared nature of these changesets, but it does not
  promise privacy.
