It serves no useful purpose and wasn't as popular as its equally meritless
cousin, srandomdev(3).
Setting aside the problems with rand(3) in general, the problem with this
interface is that the seed isn't shared with the caller (other than by
attacking the output of the generator, which is trivial, but not a hallmark of
pleasant API design). The (arguable) utility of rand(3) or random(3) is as a
semi-fast simulation generator which produces consistent results from a given
seed. These are mutually at odd. Furthermore, sometimes people got the
mistaken impression that a high quality random seed meant a weak generator like
rand(3) or random(3) could be used for things like cryptographic key
generation. This is absolutely not so.
The API was never part of a standard and was not widely used in tree. Existing
in-tree uses have all been removed.
Possible replacement in out of tree codebases:
char buf[3];
time_t t;
time(t);
strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%S", gmtime(&t));
srand(atoi(buf));

A comment at the top of the file claimed that the file was grouped into
OLD_FILES, OLD_LIBS, then OLD_DIRS, but that hasn't been the case since
the mid-2000s. Delete the stale comment, add a new comment for the
historical split entries, and move the one more recent entry (from 2013)
to group it into a single logical change.
Add the manual page for sio(4) to ObsoleteFiles.inc, so that make delete-all
will remove it. The manual page was removed together with sio(4) in
r354929.

* Remove zpool_create_013_neg. FreeBSD doesn't have an equivalent of
Solaris's metadevices. GEOM would be the equivalent, but since all geoms
are the same from ZFS's perspective, this test would be redundant with
zpool_create_012_neg
* Remove zpool_create_014_neg. FreeBSD does not support swapping to regular
files.
* Remove zpool_create_016_pos. This test is redundant with literally every
other test that creates a disk-backed pool.
* s:/etc/vfstab:/etc/fstab in zpool_create_011_neg
* Delete the VTOC-related portion of zpool_create_008_pos. FreeBSD doesn't
use VTOC.
* Replace dumpadm with dumpon and swap with swapon in multiple tests.
* In zpool_create_015_neg, don't require "zpool create -n" to fail. It's
reasonable for that variant to succeed, because it doesn't actually open
the zvol.
* Greatly simplify zpool_create_012_neg. Make it safer, too, but not
interfering with the system's regular swap devices.
* Expect zpool_create_011_neg to fail (PR 241070)
* Delete some redundant cleanup steps in various tests
* Remove some unneeeded ATF timeout specifications. The default is fine.

In FreeBSD 11 along with the rework on the collation, mklocale(1) and colldef(1)
has been replaced by localedef(1) (a note has been added to the manpage to state
it).
mklocale(1) and colldef(1) has been kept around to be able to build older
versions of FreeBSD. None of the version requiring those tools are supported
anymore so it is time to remove them from base
When the pwm.9 manual was removed, a symlink between pwmbus.9 and pwm.9 was
created, but there's an entry in ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove pwn.9, meaning
that on every installation pwm.9 is created, and make delete-old deletes it.
Remove the entry from ObsoleteFiles.inc, the symlink is clearly intentional
and shouldn't be removed.

The pft_ping.py and sniffer.py tool is moved from tests/sys/netpfil/pf to
tests/sys/netpfil/common directory because these tools are to be used in

Now that we have a way to obtain entropy in capability mode
(getrandom(2)), libcap_random is obsolete. Remove it.
Bump __FreeBSD_version in case anything happens to use it, though I've
found no consumers.

In all supported (and most unsupported) FreeBSD versions the appropriate
header for Capsicum is sys/capsicum.h. Software including sys/capability.h
is most likely looking for Linux capabilities based on the withdrawn
POSIX.1e draft.
This header was previously removed in r334929 and r340156, but reverted
each time due to ports failures. These issues have now (broadly) been
addressed.

Fix OpsoleteFiles.inc after removal of ethernet drivers. The drivers have
manual pages, and manual pages are generally stored compressed, with a .gz
suffix, but this is not reflected in ObsoleteFiles and make delete-old fails
