WordPress Core does not include functionality to redirect a request to a
randomly selected post or page. This behavior is currently implemented
through plugins or custom code. This ticket proposes discussing whether a
minimal, opt-in core implementation should exist. Any implementation could
rely on existing query and rewrite APIs without introducing user-facing
settings or defaults. @matt recently mentioned this as something to
consider for 7.0 based on his early plugin here:
