Random distribution of Mersenne primes does indeed mean we may not find
another one for years, but it also means we may find the next two just a few
weeks apart.
There is also a nearly random order in which the first-time LL tests are
_completed_. Assignments are being given out around exponent

Another way to look at it. Roughly speaking supercomputers owned the
