I am not sure if I understand your point. You mean drop "p" in "prng" or
drop specific compatible? The first depends in the block - if it is
still pseudo. The second - why? That's contradictory to what is in the
guidelines and what we have been pushing for very long time. Going
against guidelines would require proper justification (and not some
usual justification "I don't need it", because we talked about this many
many times). One should not bring downstream poor practices to upstream,
but the other way. You should fix downstream code.
