Sure, and that's why we still have the entropy pool in Linux. It's where we do the mixing. My apologies if I didn't understand the point you were making. And

And yes, I would love to see us adding more entropy sources in the future. The problem is I don't have a lot of time, and a lot of other projects to work on, but I've been trying to recruit people to add support to pass entropy from UEFI into the kernel (which requires changes to Grub, NERF, Coreboot, etc.), being able to pass entropy from one kernel to the next when using kexec, etc. I can't do it all myself; this is something that requires a lot of people to make things better.
