Thank you. After considering various points of view, I realized that my proposal is very dangerous. The language side should not be working on something that will cause confusion even at the libc layer. Also, the newly discussed vDSO implementation of getrandom (which I see no safe way to do at the moment) seems like a better option that would benefit all Linux distributions. Perhaps waiting for this is the better option than anything else. Thank you! Regards, Go Kudo
