This gives fair exposure to all the clients listed. If you had authored this as a pull request rather than making the change unilaterally I would have recommended leaving it so the reference client was always first. I also would have suggested that it use JS randomization instead of jekyll in order to get more even coverage, though I think thats a more minor point. Some people were concerned when this page was created that it would just be a source of useless disputes. I think its becoming clear that this is the case. I think the cost of dealing with this page is starting to exceed the benefit it provides and we should probably consider removing it.
