Emmanuel Bourg commented on RNG-19:
-----------------------------------
bq. Commons RNG provides implementations of pseudo-random numbers generators
I take this as a description of the RC2 content, not a strict limitation of the
project scope.
bq. There will be practical problems when assuming that the API can be an
interface to external implementations.
What kind of problems?
bq. Commons RNG, as a component, should not go down the CM path.
This is unlikely, the scope of random number generators is much more limited
than the whole field of math algorithms.

> Project: Commons RNG
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg
> Priority: Minor

> 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:
