You can already use os.getrandom() if you want /dev/urandom. And as you
wrote, it is easy to inherit from SystemRandom if you need something else
than bytes.

I am strongly opposed to use /dev/random because most users misunderdood
RNG znd so will use /dev/random for *bad* reason.

There is no need to extend the stdlib. I suggest yo close this issue as
WONTFIX.
