In case of bug report: Unexpected behaviour you saw
On bootup, the kernel reports:
Sep 10 13:44:57 localhost kernel: random: systemd: uninitialized urandom read (16 bytes read, 3 bits of entropy available)
Sep 10 13:44:57 localhost kernel: random: systemd: uninitialized urandom read (16 bytes read, 3 bits of entropy available)

In some cases, this appears for more than just systemd but also systemd-udevd, systemd-tmpfiles, and maybe others.
