Gilles commented on RNG-19:
---------------------------
bq. Commons RNG provides implementations of pseudo-random numbers generators
Excerpt from the "Overview" page (RC2 web site).
There will be practical problems when assuming that the API can be an interface
to _external_ implementations.
To make this a constructive discussion, we should now set up "Commons RNG
Utils"; it will let us see more clearly what fits where and why.
Commons RNG, as a component, should not go down the CM path.

> Commons RNG could include a random number generator based on the output of
> /dev/random or /dev/urandom on Unix systems.
> Commons Crypto has an implementation that could be used as a starting point:
