I think pushing more commits into the same PR should be fine. It's basically moving the same code into a different place and making some minor adjustments.

(While we're on that topic, the wrapper might be better expressed as a nested class of j.u.Random. It might also be an opportunity to call a new constructor that avoids the hack workaround for setSeed.)
