I am willing to maintain random.c and have intentions to have a
formally verified RNG. I've mentioned this to Ted before.

But I think Ted's reluctance to not accept the recent patches sent to
this list is mostly justified, and I have no desire to see us rush
into replacing random.c with something suboptimal or FIPSy.
