well- i can see times where a composer (maybe one who had not gone through a
cagean-worship graduate program like some of us) would want to recreate a
specific stream of pseudorandom numbers...

that said, i think backwards compatibility is not that big of an issue, as i
said before i have loads of orchestras that used to work but dont now due to
changes in csound.
