I'm a bit late here (catching up on mail after travel), but I think the rough consensus already reflects how I feel about it: we should not disconnect the PRNG. We should treat any hardware RNGs just as we do other sources of entropy, process and mix it in our PRNG. Cheers, -- Jacques Vidrine / nectar@celabo.org / jvidrine@verio.net / nectar@freebsd.org
