To color this a little, while we'll have a burst of activity for the first round to fix all of the mistakes I baked in early, I do not expect the pace of change after that to be very large. While we are going to relax the strictness of the policy, we should carefully weigh the benefit of a change against the pain of changing the stream, and explore ways to implement the improvement that would retain the stream. We should take more care making such changes in `np.random` than in other parts of numpy. When we get to drafting the NEP, I'd be happy to include language to this effect. -- Robert Kern
