Isn't it a better idea to use local entropy generators such as haveged instead 
of online ones ?
I'm quite disturbed about using a online (and moreover third-party) service to 
improve security of a local system. In my sense, this requires a huge level of 
trust towards the considered service.

In term of usage, i personally tested haveged on my servers to generate various 
GPG keys and it performs remarkably well.

Best regards
Emmanuel Thierry
