network/tor makes more sense to me.  The other residents of
network/security are specifically security protocols (Kerberos), and
it's not clear that this belongs.

But the line between "application" and "network" has never been
apparent to me.  There are many things in svc:/application that are
actually networking features, such as application/print/rfc1179 and
everything under application/management/*, as well as things under
svc:/network that don't seem to be related to networking (such as
network/rpc/meta and network/npiv_config).

(Our FMRI structure within svc:/network is also quite unclear.  In
some cases, the path components represent implementation details [such
as '/rpc/'], and in other cases, they represent groupings around a
particular technology or protocol [such as '/dns/'].)

The lack of a clear structure here was one of the comments on the
original Greenline case.

Depends on how much you've had to drink, I'd guess.  ;-}
