As mentioned by the article that's already the default behaviour of getrandom() and the BSDs have symlinked /dev/random to /dev/urandom for a long time already.

I think this is a change for the best, in particular this bit sounds completely true to my ears:

> Theodore Y. Ts'o, who is the maintainer of the Linux random-number subsystem, appears to have changed his mind along the way about the need for a blocking pool. He said that removing that pool would effectively get rid of the idea that Linux has a true random-number generator (TRNG), which "is not insane; this is what the *BSD's have always done". He, too, is concerned that providing a TRNG mechanism will just serve as an attractant for application developers. He also thinks that it is not really possible to guarantee a TRNG in the kernel, given all of the different types of hardware supported by Linux. Even making the facility only available to root will not solve the problem: Application programmers would give instructions requiring that their application be installed as root to be more secure, "because that way you can get access the _really_ good random numbers".

The number of time I've had to deal with security-related software and scripts who insisted in sampling /dev/random and stalling for minutes at a time...
