My understanding is that Fedora will never be FIPS 140 complaint anyway so there is no point in even trying, not least because the FIPS validated version will generally be _less_ secure than the non-FIPS version. To give just one example, OpenSSH defaults to a post-quantum key exchange that FIPS does not allow. -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers)
