Currently all MPT inclusion and non-inclusion proofs start with the string "mptproof". Why is this necessary? CT proofs don't have a magic string, and I don't know of any issues that people have run into about their non-self-describing-ness.
Concretely, the 8B are not likely to make a huge difference (though, at scale, maybe you could make that argument). But it just seems not necessary, so I figure I'd flag it anyway.
