I agree with what Nick wrote. It became easy to install a third-party module, and we made progress on APIs to get random bytes from the system.

I'm not convinced neither that Mersenne Twister limitations are important enough to replace it.

If you want to see enhancements in the domain of RNG, I suggest to reopen a more specific issue. This issue looks like a general discussion around RNG, not really a concrete change.
