I'll try to find out.

randgen is about 20 Mb / 500 files as of now, so I'd say it's pretty big 
comparing to mariadb-tools. I don't know whether it would be good or bad 
to have it there, I know some people prefer to have everything in the 
same project, even in maria, to minimize the number of pulls/branches, 
while others want the amount of pulled data to be as small as possible, 
and get additional stuff only when they need it. I'm equally fine with 
either.
