This is a little weird; "mtrand" is an implementation detail already.
There's exactly 3 instances of that in scikit-learn, so replacing those with a sane name (with a long timeline, say 4 numpy versions at least plus a major version number bump) doesn't seem unreasonable.
Everything in this paragraph is explicitly just about the initial release with the new subsystem. A following paragraph says that we should revisit all of these in following releases. This already read a little strangely to me -- it sounded like an indefinite pronouncement. It would be good to clarify :).
Fair enough. How does this language strike you?
