[ruby-core:119925] [Ruby master Feature#20893] random/formatter.rb: Separate from securerandom
Issue #20893 has been reported by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20893: random/formatter.rb: Separate from securerandom https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20893 * Author: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) * Status: Open * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) ---------------------------------------- For historical reasons, random/formatter.rb is included in ruby/securerandom, but it does not contain any security-related methods as evidenced by the fact that its path is not under `securerandom/`, but only contains generic methods for PRNGs, including the standard class `Random`. So I propose to either: 1. put it back in the standard library, or 2. separate it into a new gem. Adding a new dependency may not be welcomed, as seen in the recent issues with base64. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

put it back in the standard library, or
