When reviewing #11475, we realized that the NEP was unclear about the intended policy towards bug fixes in the legacy
RandomStateclass. I have added some text to make it explicit that we are not intending to fix bugs inRandomState. Maintaining absolute stability has priority since the purpose ofRandomStatewill be more limited in the post-NEP world. The newRandomGeneratordistributions will be where bugs can be fixed freely.@charris Does this make it clear enough?
