It would relatively easy to add a right outlet to [random]. Another option might be an explicit [seed] object which could give you further control or perhaps some creation flags for [random] as well.

you still have control on the seed... just seed it

no because you need to add an extra outlet to [random] and prints out the
seed value.

or even seed it with the system time on creation?

if one adds now this behaviour one need to put a flag for backward
compatibility.

what if [seed( without argument would take the current system time?

this could be an idea but one need the second outlet.
