The discussion still taking place in this thread does not fill me with confidence that we're going to have a *well tested* solution before GA. Even if we agree on a patch, are we really going to have confidence in it being reliable if we've only got a week of testing ? IMHO we're at the point where we should just disable the RNG feature for 7.1.0, and gives ourselves time to come up with a solution in 7.2.0 that can be properly tested without the time pressure of release deadlines.
