Certainly: those are all user commands.

I don't think they belong under system: at least gnu-dbm is simply a
library.  It seems to me all of system/database should be moved up to
database.

On the other hand, I find it quite confusing that some filesystems live
under system/filesystem while others are under system/{network,
storage}.  Especially system/storage is strange.

Besides, I wondered if they don't rather belong to developer instead of
system.  developer/header/system or some such?  Otherwise, it is hard to
explain why some headers live under system/header.  This is especially
true for stuff like x11 or ibus/iiim.

Again, it seems strange to have java packages under system.
