Yes. IntelliJ IDEA will actually let you place classes in `java.util`, and then you can write things like
```
package java.util;
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Random random = new Random();
int num = random.next(-3);
}
}
```
It didn't take much prompting for IntelliJ to suggest `next( )` for this toy example.
My point isn't that this kind of thing has actually happened with `java.util.Random`, but that there isn't something to prevent it from happening other than common sense and good taste.
