Does this remove the code that used 'xor' to combine the output of (about) 5 LFSR? Or is that somewhere else? I didn't spot it in the patches - so it might already have gone. Using xor was particularly stupid. The whole generator was then linear and trivially reversable. Just using addition would have made it much stronger.
