when you look at gitweb you’ll see that Dragonfly is using IBAA or Fortuna (see 4.0 releasenotes) for a very long time now to generate randomness. Also there’s nothing to replace in arc4random (the libc function) because it’s using /dev/random (which in turn comes from IBAA or Fortuna…)

If DragonFly replaced RC4 with ChaCha20 in arc4random, why does a comment in a commit from last month still talk about shuffling RC4 in arc4random?
