Yeah. To clarify: I understand that this is a minor security issue and
that a CVE isn't clearly necessary. If it's going to be more hassle than
it's worth, we can skip it.

I've looked over my randomness API a handful of times, tested it, and it
seems good to go. Another pair of eyeballs or three would be
appreciated, though.
