I don't think we should exclude them from Apps/Science without bothering
to provide an alternative (they would end up in misc, wouldn't they?).
So either we create Apps/Science/humanities, or we change the
description of the Science section so that social sciences and
humanities are allowed in.

BTW, linguistics isn't really a natural science, but there's of course
lots of software involved.
