Hello,

This is a minor amplification of information already contained in the javadoc. Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8035427 Patch: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/8035427/webrev.00/ This is a doc-only change. If acceptable, a CCC request would I expect need to be submitted and approved.

Does such a non-normative change require a CCC? I think the changes could be placed under an @apiNote tag.

It's a shame that java.util.Random is explicitly referenced, as there is no wiggle room to improve the PRNG characteristics
