That sounds better to me... I use the random button as a means of
finding double redirects, year templates without any content, pathetic
stubs, spelling mistakes that need correcting etc. If all of these were
cut out, its usefulness to me would be slashed. When I come to a lengthy
page with the random button I just move on, because I assume that the
article doesn't need my sort of work on it anymore.
