Should `ndarray-rand` be moved to its own repo?
It seems that ndarray-rand could be an independent crate in its own separate repo, like ndarray-linalg or ndarray-stats. In that way, people could focus on the specific crates and could use ndarray-rand independently.
Is there any specific/particular reason why ndarray-rand is not in its own repo? Currently, it's specified as a member here, so I suppose you would like to use the same dependencies in ndarray-rand as in ndarray, but I don't see why this constraint couldn't be kept if we move ndarray-rand to a separate repo, but I am not very familiar yet with neither ndarray nor ndarray-rand.
Just to ask, what do you see as the advantage of extracting ndarray-rand? Since it's already in its own crate, it can be compiled in parallel. I think part of the reason that -rand is a simple workspace crate is because it is a relatively simple extension module for rand, so it likely won't ever see as much development as -linalg or -stats.
