Please stop claiming this. It has been pointed out to you, __multiple
times__, that this makes no difference. For example:

    https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190916024904.GA22035@mit.edu
    
    No. getrandom(2) uses the new CRNG, which is either initialized,
    or it's not ... So to the extent that systemd has made systems
    boot faster, you could call that systemd's "fault".

You've claimed this like 3 times before in this thread already, and
multiple people replied with the same response. If you don't get the
paragraph above, then please don't continue replying further on this
thread.

thanks,
