➢ IMHO this interface is a way for the user to improve the quality of the randomness it would get from the given RNG, *not* to replace (or diminish) its other sources. My proposal is to abolish this parameter, especially since now it is simply ignored (and IMHO – for a good reason).
    
We cannot do this in a minor release; we have to wait until 1.2
