Re: entropy reseeding is totally broken

[Ed Hall]

In real life, machines don't always get rebooted in a completely
controlled fashion (panic, power failure, etc.).  Anything that
makes a reboot longer or less reliable is a definite non-starter.

I can guarantee you, if the current /dev/random code isn't fixed before
it makes STABLE, folks running servers 24/7 are going to rip it right
out.
