A note of clarification, for the FIPS certification, the hardware that the
software is built on matters so re-rolling it yourself and/or the CentOS
"binary compatible" rolls aren't part of the certified package.

Do they meet the functional requirements....probably.

Do they meet the legal requirements (NIST 800-53, etc...)....no.
