It is always a pleasure to find old bugs being fixed. Thank you!
For those wondering about randomly selecting an article, I invite you to
have a look at a 2007 post by Brion on his blog:
https://brionv.com/log/2007/11/22/random-tests/
You will learn why we have (had?) some articles showing up more often
when using RandomPage :-]

It should be noted that the method used in the patch in question is
significantly less random than random page.
