William explains what happens now accurately.  Changing it is not too  
hard, but not ready yet.

I personally prefer an annotation like # random, but I don't want to  
submit a patch touching a dozen files with that change.  Yet.

As for the true random framework that allows random seeds to be  
specified, that is not my concern :)
