a rendom generator placed in the kernel is a thematical error. i always thought that an OS is an abstracion of the hardware. please put random generators to where they belong to: to the application level. put it into some static library.
what's coming next anyway ? /dev/gaussian-distribution ? /dev/fancy-code-that-controls-my-refridgerator ? /dev/doom-level-10 ? only because you *can* do it doesn't mean that you *should* do it.
