As far as I know, no. There was this attempt:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraCryptoConsolidation
but as the top of the page notes, the effort has been abandoned. (It's
basically impossible to change every project in the world.) From that
document, though:

  The libraries that should be preferred instead of arbitrary other
  crypto stacks are (in the order of the preference):

  1. NSS
  2. GNUTLS (with nettle as crypto backend, but nettle never used
           directly by applications)
  3. OpenSSL
  4. libgcrypt 

and it might be reasonable to keep this as a "if possible, please
prefer" policy rather than a mandate.
