Well, *we* want that, but I don't think that OpenBSD is making an
*awful* decision here.

Even if you want deterministic, you're only deterministic on a single
platform, so if you want to get a deterministicly random (such an odd
phrase…) sequence, the best thing to do is to code up an Mersenne
Twister or something and ignore the rand/srand functions.
