We assume that it’s the client on which FIPS needs to be enabled to reproduce this issue, and not necessarily the server. If this is right, please could you state that explicitly to confirm - both in the Impact and mention a step to enable FIPS in the Test Plan?

Please fix the references to /usr/local in the Test Plan as we assume they don’t apply here.

Is the code path that is being changed possible to exercise for users not using FIPS? If so, is there any risk to this class of users, and would it be useful to verify this for QA during SRU verification? Or would this be pointless?

Accepting since the above won’t change that decision, but the discussion in the above paragraph may need to change the Test Plan to include the non-FIPS users.
