To clarify - the jitter entropy question was related to that same
basic issue: if this was meant to be a way to mitigate the lack of
jitter entropy on some platform you care about, that would again
possibly be a reason to care.
Considering that we apparently haven't cared for the last 7 years, I'm
still a bit surprised, but whatever.
What I *don't* want is just more voodoo discussions about /dev/*random
behavior that doesn't have a technical reason for it.
