I am looking at latest svn and it still shows  PF_INET

root at hobbit { /usr/src/hobbitsvn }$ svn update
At revision 6311.
root at hobbit { /usr/src/hobbitsvn }$ cd 4.4.0/
root at hobbit { /usr/src/hobbitsvn/4.4.0 }$ grep PF_INET */*
bbnet/contest.c:	newtest->addr.sin_family = PF_INET;
bbnet/contest.c:			nextinqueue->fd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
bbnet/contest.c:					src.sin_family = PF_INET;
hobbitd/hobbitd_channel.c:		peer->peersocket = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
lib/sendmsg.c:	sockfd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
