I'm at a loss why you would put a random number generator in front of such a sensitive operation. It's literally a matter of time before the output sampler chooses a somewhat-less-probable string like the one xatt posted. Or just deletes your stuff.

If I had a pseudo random number generator that somehow kept outputting winning lottery numbers a reasonable percentage of the time, I would use it to enter the lottery. Even if it seemed completely impossible and despite studying the algorithm, I did not understand how it worked—I would still use it.

That's basically how I feel about LLMs right now. I have no idea how any of this is possible but somehow it seems to be working.

Because I've done it a million times and wanted to see what the "random number generator" is capable of? Because I have config backups/know how to unbrick?

You should try it, you might be surprised how thorough it is. It certainly checked more things pre/during/post-upgrade than I did to make sure everything goes smoothly. And definitely more than xattt, apparently ;)
