Most of the time, we really don't know in advance what software is running
at any given address. Some don't support UHC, some don't send a vendor
indication and some just report "503 Full" in TCP handshakes without
providing a User-Agent header. Usually we just receive bare peer addresses.

Also diversity of vendor codes is not necessarily a good thing. This can
very well be abused.
