I’ve upgraded to Core 169 today without any issues so far. I have noticed that the amount of Entropy has decreased quite a lot since the upgrade.
Is this expected or a bug?
I had the same behavior (upgraded from Core168).
Hi, same here 
I think it might be worth someone raising a bug on it.

The IPFire people email address and password also act as your credentials to login to bugzilla.
Put CU169 Testing in the title so it is easily spotted.

Hi,
thank you all for reporting this change.
As already stated in bug #12893 - thanks, @chrisk1 -, this change has been intentionally conducted by the kernel developers. It is nothing to worry about (quite the opposite, actually), and at IPFire, there is nothing we can do.
Since the entropy graph does not display any valuable information with this new kernel (it always shows 256 bytes of entropy are available), I will remove it entirely, to avoid additional confusion.
Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller

The only valuable information on that page was if the rngd deamon was running or not. Could/Should this be added to status->services?
