Yep. Plus, MT uses a huge amount of memory. I don't see any reason to use it any more now that modern stream ciphers have gotten so fast.

  It is the unfortunate de facto standard for built-in noncryptographic RNGs in high-level languages. PHP, Python, and Ruby all rely on MT generators (all 3 have real CSPRNGs too).
