The current code provides a workaround for the absence of RAND_status in OpenSSL versions before 0.9.5. The comments in the code indicate these versions have to be supported, but as these versions are now more than 20 years old, this no longer applies. Removing this support simplifies the code and on the small chance that anyone is still using such old versions, breaking their build will actually be doing them a favor given the known issues with these OpenSSL versions.
We bumped the minimum OpenSSL version to 0.9.6 in 1.7.2. And I believe may have made further increases since then. So I don't see a problem with this.
