Exactly. For those of us who like to play around with protocols over the real Internet, availability of UDP as basically a proxy IP protocol is a godsend. Well what really matters is that a few uses of UDP over the internet are well established (DNS, VOIP etc.) and that makes it hard for ISP's and middle-boxes to block arbitrary UDP ports. And that makes UDP the perfect conduit to invent custom protocols.
