--- Comment #5 from Mateusz Guzik <[email protected]> ---
I'm no crypto expert.

Turns out FreeBSD's arc4rand uses RC4, while OpenBSD's version uses something
based on ChaCha which is stronger than RC4.

I don't think we should provide a syscall with weaker randomness than one
provided with original implementation.
