Thanks, this a good spec clarification question, about the scope of:
* Creates a new SplittableRandom instance using the specified

We should clarify to say:
* initial seed. SplittableRandom instances created with the same
* seed in the same program generate identical sequences of values.
Paul Sandoz will follow up on core-libs-dev with the CR details, on his way
out to a well-deserved vacation. So I may request help from others for any
Oracle process issues that might arise.
Available and willing to help out on any process issues.
Thanks!
The CR is far from the end of this process, so I also plan to post
follow-ups as it progresses.
Do you foresee additional API changes or just implementation and performance
changes?
At this point, I'm hoping people accept that the API is
what we will have in JDK8, modulo little things like
the above.
