Description

It would be nice to have a simple option to shuffle/randomize places when allocating a place using tags.

Some of reasons could be:

  • When shuffling all places will have the same flash writes from firmware updating and will more and less have the same version
  • Potentially finding differences on places 🦄 (shouldn't happen, sometimes it does 😄 )
