That would make a difference. If the code in RandomUtils never new's the Mersenne class, then it's static blocks would never run. If necessary, the Mersenne class could by loaded explicitly, but I don't think we have to go that far.
So the question to me is whether we lose any test quality by using the JDK RNG.
