 Ok, I still don't really see what is wrong with printing the maximum
 element. In your example, the patch would change it to:

 {{{
 sage: S = SemistandardTableaux([3,2,1])
 sage: s = S.random_element()
 sage: s
 [[2, 2, 2], [3, 5], [4]]
 sage: s.parent() # after #8910
 Semistandard tableaux of shape [3, 2, 1] and maximum entry 6 # after #9112
 }}}

 But you think there should be a method which returns the maximum entry?
 Like:

 {{{
 sage: S = SemistandardTableaux([3,2,1])
 sage: s = S.random_element()
 sage: s
 [[2, 2, 2], [3, 5], [4]]
 sage: s.parent() # after #8910
 Semistandard tableaux of shape [3, 2, 1]
 sage: s.parent().max_entry()
 6
 }}}
