With all due respect, Ian, you've been very difficult to work with, not least because any attempt to have an adult discussion with you on this subject ends with you saying "you clearly don't want to listen so I'll just go away". It's simply not true, but repeat it often enough and it will *become* true. We now have automatic unblocking back (which is *precisely* what you wanted), and I am willing to allow a tunable to turn it off, but I will not allow disabling it by default, because I believe it is better than the alternative in all but a minority of cases. Considering that those cases are usually very specialized embedded systems where the developers either do not care about randomness at all or understand that it is an important issue that they need to address, I think we are better off focusing our efforts on issues such as clone divergence.
