Erm, I am in between you and the Security-Officer on this one.

The Block-till-reseeded idea was strongly supported by him. I am
now in centre-stage, and I need a concensus here.

I don't mind what it is (although I am firmly inclined towards security).

The rc-hackage will become a non-issue once the random-device
auto-reseeds at boot, and that is somewhat dependant on the
current state on preemptive-ithreads (which are waiting in the
wings IIUC).
