I've been thinking we should probably address this before the next release:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1536662

And while Brandon has a fix prepared for USC to stop it happening at login, it can still happen elsewhere:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1541188

So although what I'm about to propose is technically less secure (not sure if it's less secure anywhere that matters though), it would give us a reliable system at least: Fall back to /dev/urandom if /dev/random is blocking and not sufficiently ready. Anything is better than crashing as we are now...

Hi,

I'll be starting the 0.20 release process tomorrow AM with the aim to
hit OTA10.

I'm not aware of any MPs still in flight that are required for this
release, if you know of any please speak up.

Regards,
Alan
