Comment (by Otto42):

 Replying to [comment:5 wonderboymusic]:
 > Turns out, this is even messier - passing `'orderby' => 'rand'` creates
 queries with`RAND() DESC` in them.

 Not surprised, but then I'm inclined to say "who cares"... unless you can
 show that RAND() DESC is any slower or faster than RAND() ASC. I'm pretty
 sure that mySQL won't have any difference here.

 And even in that case, I think that's probably better suited for another
 ticket, one more specifically related to improving the performance of
 WP_Query.
