> > Caveat: Instances of [Random](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Random.html), upon which the implementation of this class relies, are not cryptographically secure. > > doesn't lead the reader to conclude the class is not to be used for the purpose of security and in turn minimally use `SecureRandom` (as stipulated in the `java.util.Random` javadoc, to which we've linked). Any chance of coming around to "let's be secure" as a default position? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
