There is nothing : preventing one from including a number of sources... still predictable, : but not really by an outside attacker and quite reasonable for filesystem : mounting. Why bother? Is there something in the mount_* functions that need that randomness? Wouldn't extra sources just be wasted effort? I'd only use them when we can't locate a entroy file. Am I missing something? : Then we don't have to worry about special casing any codebases in the : tree. Exactly.
