There is a random aspect to it! I can deal with randomness, in fact, the field of statistics is one of my special interests : D > Regarding your patch: this sounds like it might be a good idea, but I > don't think the rc param should be called lines.capsize because it is > not a general line property, but something specific to errorbars. > "lines.*cap*" refer to completely unrelated general line properties. > > It would be good to get some thoughts from others as to whether to an > "errorbar" or similar category should be added to rcParams, with your > suggestion as the first entry in that category.

My first idea was to add an errorbar.* category, but then I saw that also the bar plots (axes.bar(...), axes.barh(...)) use caps. What I am trying to say is that it is not only used by axes.errorbar(...). That's why I put into the lines.* category, but that's certainly open for discussion. Having a policy on what to put into rcParams sounds useful.
