For most of these, the vendor is not known because Gtk-Gnutella never
had direct contact with those. I don't believe the vendor limit is
very reasonable considering that the vast amount of peers are LimeWire
nodes, then BearShare and little the rest is something else. At the
very least, the default vendor limit should be much more generous
like 80-90%. Without these limits people are really connected instantly.
The current vendor limit really causes a lot of unnecessary work
and wastes resources.
