One question: does the randomization ever help when building a new index? In the original test case, you repeatedly delete and insert tuples, and I can see how the index can get bloated in that case. But I don't see how bloat would occur when building the index from scratch.

BTW, I don't much like the option name "randomization". It's not clear what's been randomized. I'd prefer something like "distribute_on_equal_penalty", although that's really long. Better ideas?
