Just to be clear, you voted no to one BC break, but yes to other BC breaks.
I don't know how you pick which ones are acceptable, and which are not.
Summary BC breaks you voted for:
* No to changing the output of mt_rand after calling mt_srand with a given
seed (when not specifying a min/max)
* Yes to changing the output of mt_rand after calling mt_srand with a given
seed (when specifying a min/max)
* Yes to changing the output of rand, shuffle, str_shuffle and array_rand
Do you see why this looks weird to me?
