Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Actually _PyRandom_Fini() has a relation to _PyOS_URandom APIs. It releases resources acquired by _PyOS_URandom APIs. It shouldn't be renamed to _Py_HashRandomization_Fini.

_PyRandom_Init() just initializes _Py_HashSecret. But it can't be implemented via _PyOS_URandom APIs. It uses a static function from this file. If move it to other place, we should add new _PyOS_URandom API function. I don't think this would make the code cleaner.
