[RFC] [Discuss] Random Functions Throwing Exceptions in PHP 7.0.0

All,

I am putting a simple RFC up for discussion to make random_* throw
exceptions on failure in order to ensure we fail-closed.

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/random-function-exceptions

Considering this topic has already been discussed, I intend to open
voting on this as soon as allowable. Given the voting policy specifies
2 weeks for language changes and 1 week for another, this is assumed
to require 1 week of "discussion".

With that in mind, I intend to put this RFC up to vote on August 29/30th.

Thanks!

Anthony

That still gives us plenty of time before 7.0.0 is finalized, so I
find this agreeable.
