We publish our source tree, which contains the complete random number generation subsystem. Upon studying it, the major thing you'll notice is entropy is fully available *IN THE BOOT CODE* already, and thus *EVEN IN THE INSTALLER*, and it is passed onwards, so at most a random device can add entropy to a pool which is *already good enough*. That's the design. Since that is the design, what's the point of writing a crappy driver for a crappy device? No point.
