I've had a chat with Adam Wilson regarding your question, unfortunately 
he isn't able to reply right now.

He is the one heading up V3.

The official position is that V2 is on life support, work like this is 
currently considered out of scope.

As for std.random replacement, first up is cryptography where calls out 
to systems libraries will be used in place of anything on our end. After 
which we can revisit non-cryptographic algorithms.
