I would think it would be more straight forward for mirror admins to exclude the DVDs from their pull if needed than to have a second rsync config to pull DVDs separately.  Only concern I'd have is potential for lost mirrors due to uninformed admins dealing with blowback from sudden traffic and storage increases.

Also, agree with Jon that password could lead to leaks and abuse (and drift, and confusion and admin headaches for CentOS, etc..)  I'd rather go with IP based acls, but I pull and serve from the same IP. ;)
