I'm assuming it means that if an application gets an IANA assignment on e.g. port 6666 and by default IANA assigns both TCP/6666 and UDP/6666 to the application, but in practice the application only binds to a TCP port, then there's no need to assign UDP/6666 to the app in netbase, even though IANA have, because on the off chance something does use UDP/6666, it would be misleading for it to be labelled as the former application. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
