I certainly think I understand both sides and I wouldn't assume that
others don't... I do think that developers are open to discussion...
I don't think a patch for optional randomness would get dismissed
because it's random... Of course, it might be refused for other
reasons... :) And developers are lazy and/or buzzy - if You really want
something You'll have to do it Yourself (and that's a good thing! :)

Most of the time I want to be able to calculate what will happen -
without random elements - but I certainly see that it might be fun with
more randomness once in a while...
