I think the way this reads, it leads more to a suggestion of "make random items more common in the recycle beast" which could be done in multiple ways.
I don't think they have been removed from the item pool, but that's something that or a programmer would need to comment on to verify. Maybe Amber could make some changes to it.
I think leaving it here could lead to more ideas on how to improve it too. the difference between S&I and Site Feedback sometimes is negligible, I could really go either way on this one but I think leaving it here and getting more ideas on how to get random items in there more frequently is probably the best option for right now :)
