Seems to me like a nothing burger? As long as there is no weakness, why should I care which PRNG shuffled bytes? | ||||||||||||||

The process to generate these was opaque, so there was some concern that the values might have been backdoored somehow like Dual_EC_DRBG was; we didn't even have confidence that they were generated from a PRNG rather than some other process. Knowing that the values were generated this way makes it much less plausible that there is such a backdoor. | ||||||||||||||
