State-Changed-Why:
I don't think there's ever really been any reason to think that the
Mersenne Twister is any better than the random(3) we already have,
and I vaguely recall some situation some years back where it turned
out to be worse. Anyway, changing the implementation would create a
bunch of compat headaches and it's not worth doing without a clear
benefit.
