I encouraged Josh to change Perm to match Shuffle, but it's a potentially breaking change and while writing the release notes I am reluctant to describe it. We should probably revert the behavioral change in Perm.

I support reverting rand.Perm changes. It is the cause of a few failures inside Google, and the fix for them is not easy.
