Dear d_labes,

I am terribly sorry but I personally have very bad experience with your suggested random number generator, and it stems in part from the fact that a typical NLYW is generally very much more unpredictable than Mersenne Twister* and her allies. In fact I have tried several times to interact with NLYWs but the result often is a general syntax error, occasionally also an access failure, and debugging does not seem to be an option.
Therefore, I would strongly advise against your recommendation.

Anyone who believes unpredictability is a desired property of a random number generator should thus think twice.

EM.
