-1   I am opposed to this redesign.  There is no problem being solved that warrants changing a long standing public API.  It is irresponsible to just guess at whether anyone is using the API.  To add randbytes() could have just been a simple two line addition.  None of what is being proposed is necessary -- there are no known user problems being solved.  At best, this is unnecessary code churn.  At worse, it will be a breaking change.
