If I understand the patch correctly it seems the urandom-seed will run
along side with urngd, not a fallback. Is urandom-seed a must, or
only serve as a precaution just in case?
If urngd can solve the problem what urandom-seed is for, I would
suggest we make urandom-seed an opt-in option, not included by
default.
