I believe I must apply the fix/workaround every time.
The entropy state gets stored on shutdown and reloaded on next boot.
Fixing it once is enough.
...assuming that people actually use shutdown and don't just reboot.
Kinda - but the instructions in the man page are quite explicit and
ask you to save the entropy state at least once manually, which should
avoid the blocking behaviour in all cases.
That's not an acceptable regression.
Previously no manual operations were ever necessary -- the blocking was
never permanent.
