I originally created constants because the algorithm for picking random numbers changed, which broke all games of Fischer Random Chess and other random variants. I used to rely on reusing the same seed value, which worked fine as long as the algorithm for picking random numbers didn't change. If it doesn't change again, constants are unnecessary for these games. But if it ever does change again, the constants will preserve games started before the change.
