(new to the list, and i'm not sure about the scope or context, so
forgive me if i'm talking nonsense.)

i agree that the OS should do the work, for multiple reasons, 1, it is
better done in a protected environment (aka ring 0), 2, OS has access
to more entropy, 3, better have one excellent than many good
solutions.

that said, what is the list of OS's today that has sound, reviewed
RNG? openbsd, ...? so this is pretty thin.
