There definitely needs to be more information as there is moderate, high,
and those like DHS5300A that select everything. CUI 800-171 is a subset of
800-53.

As rehashed over and over again, CentOS will never meet 800-53 or 800-171
requirements. It is not meant to. There is and won't be a USGCB or CUI
profile for it, so that's a full stop on meeting compliance.
https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#What_is_CentOS_Linux.3F and
https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#What_is_CentOS.27s_relationship_with_Red_Hat.2BAK4.2C_Inc._or_RHEL.3F
clearly state this if
there is belief that CentOS == RHEL.
