Absolutely.  I was looking at the changes necessary to generate a more
random ISS for TCP connections (RFC1948).  It was relatively easy to
add the code to generate the ISS, but generating a random enough 
seed value looked really tough.  It seemed especially ugly because
the seed was required pretty early on in the boot process, before
there was a chance to sample alot of OS events to get some randomness.

Any ideas or plans to add /dev/random?  It sure would make things
easier.
