I think I agree with Randy about subversion, it's a project management
and version control system (although it is used for programming a
lot).  the wrappers are useless outside of a networking context but it
is definitely security related.  I think it could definitely fit in
with the security section but it does fit in both sections nicely.
It's more of a candidate for relocation if you ask me.

While we're on the subject, I noticed recently that cmake is in the
system utilities section.  It's intended use is as a build system for
programming, so it could be argued that it does belong in the
programming section.  It's a language for describing the build process
of languages to compilers.

Some packages are tricky to define into categories...
