Just wondering why the unneeded extra data of "noncerange" is in here? https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/3390014fd0d91b0148425e794ac01c10b646a682 I know GBT transfers an enormous amount of data for a typical request, but it would be better to avoid throwing in extra unused data also. Could it be removed?
Wasted data transferred for no reason at all #1985

The RPC protocol was never designed to minimize data transfer. It's meant for controlling a bitcoind instance on the localhost, in which case the amount of data is of no essence (hence the choice of JSON, too).
Having said that, I don't see "noncerange" in BIP 22 at all: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0022 . So I'm not sure why it is included.
