I agree that RNG could be removed from CL (Binary compatibility considerations left aside). However, rather than introducing unnecessary dependencies, one would instead use an RNG interface, with an ovious default implementation. In other words, if "Joe Average Random" (aka Gilles) wants to use Commons RNG, he's perfectly capable to do so. That's the way how you design low level libraries.
