I don't think that's a good idea. A prng is closed path through a state space and it doesn't matter where you start on said path, you're going to follow the same closed path through the state space.
That's totally fine for some applications - those that simply want to iterate the input at most once in a random order. Far as I can tell this is the most frequent. I don't care for a second iteration to guarantee a different iteration schedule. And if I did, I'd have no trouble reseeding the generator. -- Andrei
