A very efficient Gold farm could be made in the Nether Above the Bedrock and just below the build limit. TONS of Zombie Pigmen would spawn due to nothing hindering the spawn limit from surrounding areas.
However, nothing spawns above the bedrock anymore in 14w27b. (See Image) My Iron Golums used to be VERY busy killing Pigmen. Now, as you can see, they are very bored, indeed.
I am in Hard Mode in the image.
Edit: Actually, NOTHING is spawning in the Nether, above OR below the bedrock! I went ALL over the Nether and I didn't see a single mob. The Blaze Spawners (cages) are working, but nothing is spawning in the regular spaces. I tried toggling difficulties, exiting and reentering the nether, logging off and on... Nothing!

The nether is still empty in 14w28b. Difficulty: Hard. Screenie attached.
The nether is still empty in 14w29b. Difficulty: Hard.
The nether is still empty in 14w29b. Difficulty: Hard. Screenshot attached w/f3 data.
Can't confirm in 14w30b. Started a new world, went into the Nether and flew around, found plenty of mobs - see attached screenshots (Wither_Skeleton, Zombie_Pigman, and Ghast_And_Pigmen). Mobs not spawning above bedrock in the Nether is the game working as intended.
New world fixed below the bedrock spawns for me too. Mobs are not spawning above the nether still.
What is the harm in allowing the spawn above the nether? Its worked that way for a long time. This is a SANDBOX game. If I like watching my golems pound away at Zombie Pigmen in my Above the nether arena... Why exactly would the devs take that away? Stuff doesn't spawn on bedrock so someone would have to purposefully build something to spawn on which means they want it to happen.
Its just like them breaking Iron Foundries, or if they broke Ender Farms on purpose. It makes no sense.
Please put it back.

Hi all,
As stated in MC-82291, the issue is still there (version 1.9 - online server).
Is this intentional, or still a bug ?
And updates? In 14w27b I only get mob spawns in one chunk in the nether. Beyond that it's 1-2 pigmen if I sit in an area for a long time.
