I think many people who are looking for a random number generator end up 
on this page and need to be informed if there are alternatives so they can 
make up their own mind. If you want to discourage people to use it, that's 
fine and we can do so, but I think it's wrong to hide it from people who 
don't suspect random functions which are os dependent to be in the os 
package instead of the random package or don't even know about the os 
random facility.
