This exposes stdlib's random number generator and makes life a little unpredictable for those users who think that they have reproducibility by seeding the generator from numpy.random.
See, e.g., scipy/scipy#5661 and scipy/scipy#5629.

This could use a mention in the 1.11.0 release notes.

Not going to wait on AppVeyor for this. Thanks Evgeni.
