 **Invariant**: if `get_shuffling(seed, validators, epoch)` returns some value `x` for some `epoch <= get_current_epoch(state) + ACTIVATION_EXIT_DELAY`, it should return the same value `x` for the same `seed` and `epoch` and possible future modifications of `validators` forever in phase 0, and until the ~1 year deletion delay in phase 2 and in the future.
