this is a good question, I believe it's because it may break the system, the same way as using Debian Sid you don't want the security repo as it's aimed at stable. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Quote:Q: How is security handled for testing?
A: Security for testing benefits from the security efforts of the entire project for unstable. However, there is a minimum two-day migration delay, and sometimes security fixes can be held up by transitions. The Security Team helps to move along those transitions holding back important security uploads, but this is not always possible and delays may occur. Especially in the months after a new stable release, when many new versions are uploaded to unstable, security fixes for testing may lag behind. If you want to have a secure (and stable) server you are strongly encouraged to stay with stable.
Why mobian doesn't use the debian-security repository by default?
From my understanding mobian does not use the debian-security repos for the same reason debian testing and unstable don't either. debian-security is meant for stable, and mobian is kind of a wip atm.
