--- Comment #5 from Mateusz Guzik <mjg at FreeBSD.org> ---
I'm no crypto expert.
Turns out FreeBSD's arc4rand uses RC4, while OpenBSD's version uses something
based on ChaCha which is stronger than RC4.
I don't think we should provide a syscall with weaker randomness than one
provided with original implementation.
