The problem isn't the API, it's the fact that you've got two mutually
exclusive requirements, the security geeks want the (P)RNG to block until
enough entropy is available, everyone else wants execution to continue without
being blocked.  In other words a failure of security is preferred to a failure
of functionality.  Until you resolve that conflict, no API (re)design is going
to help you.
