I cannot think of good name, but > I like rand_system(). rand() may stay as it is now also. I have mixed feelings about that. What did change since our last discussions? What are the benefits to do it now? Also I really do no think it is worse the effort and the addition to do it in 5.x. Yes, there are still apps out there relying on rand only for areas where it should not be used, but how is it our problem? I mean: the documentation is clear, have been updated and clarified many times. I'd rather focus on doing one set of APIs for RNG for php6 and leave that untouch for now.
