The change here is specific to the global RNG, which users often used without explicitly seeding - e.g. calling rand.Int() without first calling the now-deprecated rand.Seed(int64).
The distinction is obvious to people who have domain expertise here, but I've found many people make mistakes with it in practice, because it's easy to do.
