Changing the API of rand() and randn() doesn't solve any problem. Removing them might. I think this is too blunt an argument. For example, use of the old interface might issue a deprecation warning. This would make it very likely that all new code use the new interface.
My point is that there is no need to change rand() and randn() to the "new" interface. The "new" interface is already there: random.random() and random.standard_normal().
