I see too much uncertainty in that statement with "non-zero chance". As the maintainer
of this library and someone with the community's best interest in mind, can you outline
the requirements for a rte_csrand implementation with a higher degree of confidence?

I want to know the criteria that must be satisfied for the acceptance probability to be
close to 1. I'm sorry if I have not been abundantly clear on the requirements that I thought
you would look for in such a patch. Maybe I misread your previous email.

We all think different in one way or the other, but what's more important is finding a
common ground.
