If you want random numbers that are consistent across package version
changes then you could simply leverage a package that aims to
implement a standard. Short of bug fixes, code implementing a
standard should not behave differently across versions. For example,
use a cryptographic algorithm (AES CTR or ChaCha20) or a standardized
cryptographic RNG like Hash SP 800-90 as your RNG.

I know that, ff you feed mkStdGen a particular seed, and pull a list of random numbers from that StdGen, that that the list will always be the same if your run your compiled program over and over again on that same system. But which of the following will cause you to get different output?:
1) Changes in GHC version 2) Changes in "random" library version 3) Compiling / Running on a different host computer (but compiling with the same GHC & random versions.
