Glad to hear it! We thought so too. We’ve also been warning people for a long time now that the default PRNG sequence should not be relied on to be stable, so hopefully those warnings have helped a bit. My guess is that there are packages (and other code) that are relying on this for tests and with this breakage they will hopefully switch to using StableRNGs.jl which can be relied on to produce the same PRNG sequence forever.
