--- Comment #4 from W. Dean Freeman <badfilemagic@gmail.com> ---
(In reply to Conrad Meyer from comment #2)

Conrad,

We made it optional so that we could test it down stream but still have a
switch to flip back to up-stream behavior if we wanted to.  Frankly, I don't
see value in leaving it optional long-term as I think it is the correct
behavior.

Re: saturating add, I probably should have removed the original comment. It=
 was
MarkM's, not mine/Oliver's.  The code change with the MIN() was based on a
suggestion from jmg@. Looking back, it does look like I missed where he sai=
d to
change RANDOM_FORTUNA_MAXPOOLSIZE to just be a u_int instead of UINT_MAX.
