I think I've caught up on everything discussed now.
One thing I would like to point out, when people have searched for
"legitimate uses" of mt_rand(), you should have been looking for
legitimate uses of mt_srand() - this is the functionality that will be
broken.

So what would you suggest? mt_rand_mode() with constants for correct
and legacy? (defaulting to correct, and a single fcall for users to
get the old behaviour back)
