In real life, machines don't always get rebooted in a completely controlled fashion (panic, power failure, etc.). Anything that makes a reboot longer or less reliable is a definite non-starter. I can guarantee you, if the current /dev/random code isn't fixed before it makes STABLE, folks running servers 24/7 are going to rip it right out. -Ed To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
