Only issue I can think of that we're missing is one to track reverting os.urandom() to 3.4 semantics (any doc updates required for the random module?). Am I missing anything?
It’s already been reverted to 3.4 semantics (well, it will try to use getrandom(GRD_NONBLOCK) but falls back to /dev/urandom if that would have blocked).
