KERNEL random() can be easily implemented (better - replaced) with arc4random(), there is no objections. But... 1) Implementing random(3) with RC4 is not needed, its algorithm is already equal or better. 2) Implementing rand(3) with RC4 can be possible only if seed (i.e. state) can be stored in single word (due to rand_r()) restrictions. -- Andrey A.
