If you were using centos for fedramp, unless you got a variance from the feds, you were not in compliance. No one actually paid to have NIST evaluate centos's binaries (evaluation/certification must be of the compiled binary, not the source code, barring an exception made for openssl, and only openssl, not the kernel)

This wasn't done yet for FedRAMP High, but it passed the audit for earlier customers demanding FIPS-140-2 compliance.

Not that I am not saying it wasn't a clusterfuck of epic proportions in general.
