the old /dev/random
has an important feature for me: any _mass_ usage by whatever class of
users (whether tenthousands of UIDs per server and/or HTTP/second, or
maybe even some privileged orchestration scripts) would _consume_ masses
of entropy. When suchalike consumption would exceed the production rate,
the old /dev/random would become so slow that our internal monitoring
processes would certainly alert, and consequently would hint our
responsibles (located at other teams) at the problem.
