This is not correct. The RNG in 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 automatically seeds.
There is no need to explicitly seed it. I also wouldn't describe it as
"bad". 1.1.1 has a much better RNG, but there is no reason not to trust
and use the 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 RNG.

1.0.2 and 1.1.0 auto seed. 1.1.1 additionally auto-*re*seeds.
