I'm sorry. I made a typo:
So the answer is that nmcli in Fedora does NOT use Openswan

And my repoquery was suboptimal:
# dnf -q repoquery --qf '%{name} %{summary}' 'NetworkManager*' |grep -i IPsec
NetworkManager-l2tp NetworkManager VPN plugin for L2TP and L2TP/IPsec
NetworkManager-l2tp-gnome NetworkManager VPN plugin for L2TP and L2TP/IPsec - GNOME files
NetworkManager-libreswan NetworkManager VPN plug-in for IPsec VPN
NetworkManager-strongswan NetworkManager strongSwan IPSec VPN plug-in
(See the IPsec misspelling at NetworkManager-strongswan.)
I wanted to say that each swan has its own plugin for NetworkManager.
Openswan also had its own. Maybe the swans are not fully interchangable. Maybe
their packaging predates RPM rich dependencies. Also historically, there were
other, unrelated IPsec implementations (Plutto, Racoon) with a completely
different interface.
