I noticed that the hostile mobs (zombies, skeleton, Creepers,spiders) do not appear in the new mountains (Lofty Peaks, Snow Capped Peaks, Snowy Slopes) which makes them very empty and without difficulty.

Not sure if WAI, but I've also noticed that it's passive mobs as well. Mobs that generate are 99% rabbits. On a few full days out, I've only seen maybe 1 non-rabbit mob that generated.
Starting out in the hills, getting rabbits is no problem, but finding cows, pigs, and other passive mobs is really hard.
Mobs of any sort aren't spawning in mountains beyond a certain elevation. I was living in a mountain yesterday in a test world and nothing whether hostile, passive, you name it, was spawning after a certain height. I'm guessing it has something to do with elevations not registering as places where mobs should be spawning as a result of the world height increase.
Can confirm, it seems that the biome files are missing the "monster": {} tags.
