If this is an API change, then it might as well be a change in the serializability of the ThreadLocalRandom instance. Since TLR extends Random which is already Serializable, this could be done by throwing appropriate exception in writeObject().

I don't think anyone would really notice. Dubious as it might be, I'm sure it would break somebody so I think it would be safer not to do this.
