Comment (by mlajo):

 This is not consistent with mt_rand and contra intuitive. It caused lots
 of trouble in our code until we pinpoint it to this function. Also coding
 standard https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-
 Standards/blob/develop/WordPress/Sniffs/WP/AlternativeFunctionsSniff.php
 recommend to use it.
 mt_rand() is discouraged. Use the far less predictable wp_rand() instead.
