RE: Keep entropy pool full
The downside is inserting an extra kernel mod and all that implies, and trusting that the frandom pseudo randomness is just as good as urandom. Additionally, /dev/frandom isn't a drop in replacement for /dev/urandom, nothing will actually use it without being rewritten to be aware of it.
