+  o Minor features (defense in depth):
+    - Tor now uses a fast cryptographically strong PRNG even for decisions
+      that we do not believe are security-sensitive.  Previously, for
+      performance reasons, we had used a trivially predictable linear
+      congruential generator algorithm for certain load-balancing and
+      statistical sampling decisions. Now we use our fast RNG in those cases.
+      Closes ticket 29542.
