Only those use cases should be fixed eventually to wait for a fully seeded DRNG. The logged messages you present here indicate use cases where no strong security is required. It looks like that the logs show ASLR related use of random numbers. Those do not require a fully seeded ChaCha20 DRNG. IMHO, users using the get_random_u64 or get_random_u32 are use cases that do not require a fully seeded DRNG thus do not need a cryptographically strong random number. Hence, I would think that the logging should be removed from get_random_u32/u64. Yet, logging should remain for get_random_bytes which should be denominated as the interface for use cases where cryptographically strong random numbers are required. Ciao Stephan
