Crate evaluation for 2017-07-25: rand

Welp, here’s a big one. This is scheduled for 7/25 but I suspect that date is going to slip to give this time to percolate. A lot of people have opinions about rand.

I’d urge caution about letting perfect be the enemy of the good - this crate has been around a long time and has suffered from neglect and analysis paralysis. I bet there’s a whole bunch of improvements we can make, even if we don’t solve all the problems.

Let’s see what happens!

@briansmith has previously critiqued this crate here, and I bet there are some other prior critiques that could be dug up.
