Also, there is a bit set after executing RDRAND that tells you if you got a 'good' random number.

Does anyone else feel like that's the sort of thing that will become part of a vulnerability someday?

No. It's used as a measure to NOT become part of a vulnerability someday, i.e so the system recheck and ask for another random number.

If it's just a flag you can ignore, I think that someone will.
