There's a category for secur32, called wine-sspi for now. As Microsoft calls the whole GSSAPI clone implemented in secur32 and possibly additional dlls SSPI, it makes sense to call the bugzilla component that way.
sspi consists of at least a host and many security provider dlls, which by itself tells nothing to a user, or a developer who tries to fix a bug where to look for a problem: all of the sspi dlls? some specific dll, provider? somewhere else?
IIRC there are five providers that Win2k and WinXP ship, all of them implemented in secur32.dll. I don't see how renaming the component will create less confusion for the developers.
However, I'm not feeling strong enough about this to really care. If the wine- prefix is removed, I need to adapt my email filters anyway. :)
