Oh, minority interest indeed ... but apparently an important minority since all 
three of those categories have major players with public facing repositories :)

I found it extraordinary that version control even gets on the list at 
all considering that in the great scheme of things it's a fairly 
minority interest.

The list isn't much more than a publicity grabber for SANS to give them 
an excuse to send out a press release and it gets into Slashdot every 
year.

One of the Windows top 10 is "web browsers" - not just Internet 
Explorer or Mozilla but all web browsers in general.  As you say they 
could do away with the whole thing and just have

Too bad CVS and Subversion are lumped together, and therefore both
contribute to the position.  

Positions 1, 2, and 3, are BIND/DNS, Web Server, and Authentication
(all authentication software!) respectively.  In other words, by
putting your computer on the Net, you're vulnerable :-).
