Makes me wonder if any implementations will do the cute trick of dispensing with the seed constants and deriving them at startup from the unix timestamps. :)

That's one of those things I would consider "cute, but wrong". I'd rather hardcode for efficiency and add a unit test that rederives.

They'd be trading the seed constants for the timestamp constants, more annoying than cute honestly.
