I'd suggest that this matter might better be addressed off-list, or else identified as something that the two of you are not going to reach a common vision through the mechanism of the mailing list. After 70 posts, a significant block between two of obviously different perspectives, I am doubting that this point is going to be satisfactorily resolved to the concurrence of all parties through this medium at this time. I'd offer that some of this effort might be even better lent to developing possible translators to provide a viable /dev/urandom solution. Just an observation from a former systems programmer who now does mediation work, that is interested in watching the viability of The Hurd and has speculated on concepts of possible future translators... -- Mark L.
