Sensible way would be dropping FIPS security threathre entirely and let it rot in the stupid corner companies dug themselves into, but of course the problem is OpenSSL's main income source...

I really wish Linux Foundation or some other big OSS founded complete replacement of it, then just write a shim that translates ABI calls from this to openssl 1.1 lookalike

I see you've never had to manage multiple products coming out of less-than-good development teams. FIPS mode is a godsend.
