> We're talking about "no/low estimated entropy" which isn't quite the same as "uninitialized" in its usual sense. In many cases the kernel doesn't normally credit entropy, and believes it's...

And let me propose some text to see how a recommendation based on use case can look: ``` ## Recommendations based on use case ### 1. Seeding a random generator...
