Discussion about /dev/random review?

I have googled in vain but perhaps I am just not handy enough. Has there been any major discussion about this review of Linux' /dev/random (announced on one of the authors blog) on the respective mailinglists (e.g. linux-kernel)? I would just like to read up on the discussion if it exists.

Update 2006-05-27: There was some discussion on The Cryptography Mailing List [Thanks, Max Vozeler for the pointer]. The discussion on linux-kernel only happened recently. Discussion starts here. This message by Theodore Tso basically ended the thread.
