We looked at this with Arnout, and we don't really see what this would
be needed, and actually it could be annoying to have people test
"random" branches. If you need extensions to genrandconfig, then the
autobuild-run script should be backward compatible with older versions
of genrandconfig to be able to support older branches for a certain
while.

Thanks!
