The kernel no longer blocking does mean things won't get stuck on boot, but it seems like any distro with an eye towards security still needs either rngd or haveged present to feed in entropy on hardware that does not have a hardware RNG (and potentially even when there is a hardware RNG to improve the quality of the pool). We definitely support some platforms in AGL that do not have a hardware RNG, so we'll have to work out whether we're going to need to eat making meta-oe a hard requirement for using meta-agl-core or do something else.
