I have one comment, and that is what makes random numbers so special? This applies to the rest of NumPy too, fixing a bug can sometimes change the output of a function. Personally I think we should only make guarantees about the data types, array shapes, and things like that, but not about the values. Those who need a particular version of NumPy for exact reproducibility should install the version of Python and NumPy they need. That is why virtual environments exist. I am sure a lot will disagree with me on this. So please don't take this as flamebait.
