The only BC issue I can think of is game that expects the same pseudo random sequences. These apps may use mt_srand() to get fixed random sequences and adjust their apps if it is needed. This is acceptable BC for new releases. IMO.
Do you propose making rand() a synonym for mt_rand()? If so, wouldn't it make sense for srand() to become a synonym for mt_srand()?
Or are you saying that there are functions other than rand() which can currently be seeded by srand(), and these would be affected by mt_srand() instead? If so, that seems like a pretty subtle change to document and publicise.
