Good. udplite.7 will be in man-pages-3.07.

Yes, it's been one of those nagging little tasks I've been meaning to do for a while. (My reluctance has been in part about whether I should "erase history" -- the pseudo-distinction between AF_ and PF_ is longstanding, but has also been meaningless since the beginning.) So, you're comment finally prompted me to do it. In man-pages-3.07, everything is now AF_*.
