No comment on why the change happened in the first place, but:

  | The followup commit by kre partiallly undid the change for "rump and
  | anything else userland".  Why is this necessary for rump?

<sys/cprng.h> isn't installed, so is only available to kernel builds,
that could be changed, but was more than I was willing to do to make
the builds work again, which was my sole objective.

  |  And what specifically the "anything else userland" is.

Most likely, nothing.

  | [1] It seems to me that pampering over over rump failures instead of
  | properly fixing the issues as the crop up has become kind of a sport in
  | recent years.

By all means, if you have the energy, dive into rump and fix all of its
issues properly.
