I'm not a cryptographer either and I certainly trust OpenSSH developers and actual cryptographers a lot mote than outdated government standards. As far as I'm concerned, what these people say is the standard and they're the people I look for when I want to learn something about cryptography from websites, LWN articles, mailing list discussions and other such sources. I've learned a lot reading about getrandom on LWN, plenty of knowledgeable people involved in that work.
