One could combine a shuffle with formations, to provide a way to have a
sound layout of pieces, but force people to adjust to openings they don't
play normally (a reason why there is shuffles).  Key would be to properly
evaluate the the strength of a formation in contrast to another one.  You
also would have to factor in things like whether a formation has castling,
can be subject to its pawns having En Passante, and so on.
