Why does BitTorrent Mainline show less DHT nodes in the status bar than BitComet or Azureus?

BitTorrent Mainline counts only the number of DHT nodes you are directly connected to. BitComet counts nodes that are one hop away from you (connected to nodes you’re connected to), which inflates nubmers. Azureus attempts to estimate the complete size of its DHT network.
