>Description:
	The description in man/man2/socket.2 (socket(2)) for PF_INET6
	is:
		ARPA IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) protocols

	By the time IPv6 was created, ARPA (DARPA) was way out of the
	business of internet protocol specification (or at least no more
	related than any of a thousand or so other organisations).
	Calling IPv6 an ARPA protocol is just wrong.

>How-To-Repeat:
	RTFM.

	man 2 socket

>Fix:
	Apply the following patch (or just manually remove the "ARPA").
	If the protocol really needs an owning organisation, make it IETF
	instead of ARPA.
