Since you seem to have written and/or formatted a lot of the documentation on this I figure you'd be the best choice to answer this question. For [[LlListRandomize]] should all uses of random be replaced with pseudo random as appears to be the case with [[llFrand]]'s mentioning of random number generation or should it be left as it is currently referencing random which is less accurate in my opinion.

I re-added the func_id as it is a knowable value... is the old function being phased out and that why it was removed? Strife Onizuka 19:46, 31 January 2007 (PST)
LlListRandomize and the use of random vs pseudo random
