I think that's inviting trouble if you can provide the seed. It leads to a false sense of security in that providing some seed secures them instead of just making it a tad harder for the attack. And it won't help with keeping compatibility with Python 2.7 installations that don't have randomization turned on by default. If we are going to allow people to turn this off then it should be basically the inverse of the default under Python 2.7 and no more.
