There is no environment in current use where using /dev/urandom more
than a minute after bootup will inconvenience any other process in the
slightest.  Refusing to use it in order to avoid a hypothetical problem
that probably won't even occur on those systems is like a garage
refusing to use an air wrench to put on wheels because using one
carelessly might break the wooden spokes of a model-T. Well, that is,
one of the pre-1934 model-T's that had wooden spokes instead of metal.
