Unfortunately, nsa also worked w/ google on android :(
(and surely with many more other sensible things).
I also happen to read an article about solid-state random
generators; on todays designs, killing only 2-3 transistors
would so much hamper the quality of randomness that the
result couldn't be called random anymore. (Anyway, I never
trusted them, but some softwares use them as _default_ source:(

I was more thinking about the much older "bug" re-introduces
by only one line "back from an old commit": there was not one
comment from the openssl team, not even a note in the changelog…
Thinking you will be the only one able to exploit holes like
that is more moron thought than the beginning of a strategy.
