   - *Rationale*: If a RPC response is not a JSON object then it is harder to avoid API breakage if
     new data in the response is needed.
+
+- Wallet RPCs call BlockUntilSyncedToCurrentChain to maintain consistency with
+  `getblockchaininfo`'s state immediately prior to the call's execution. Wallet
+  RPCs whose behavior does *not* depend on the current chainstate may omit this
+  call.
+
+  - *Rationale*: In previous versions of Bitcoin Core, the wallet was always
+    in-sync with the chainstate (by virtue of them all being updated in the
+    same cs_main lock). In order to maintain the behavior that wallet RPCs
+    return results as of at least the highest best-known block an RPC
+    client may be aware of prior to entering a wallet RPC call, we must block
+    until the wallet is caught up to the chainstate as of the RPC call's entry.
+    This also makes the API much easier for RPC clients to reason about.
