David, getrandom() itself is not a hack, as it adds feature that is not
possible to implement with POSIX alone. The reasons why use getrandom() instead
of open("/dev/urandom") have been discussed in the mailing list in past. (low
max number of fd's configured, attacker can try to exhaust fds on purpose, need
for slightly more error handling)
