Just a thought about this one: in a not-so-distant past, getrandom() could hang forever when lacking entropy (classical problem when booting a headless machine having no RNG), and since a recent kernel it turned to "only" multiple seconds. I'm not seeing any easy solution to this, but we need to keep an eye on this one, and in case of bad reports, maybe have this test as an opt-in or something like this. Anyway the best way to know is to have it right now and wait for reports to arrive.
