The obsoletion is odd. All I could find on the matter:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1049517

Openswan was put through FIPS 140-2 on RHEL6. FISMA, FedRAMP, STIG, and 
most other baselines call out the need to use FIPS 140-2 crypto, but as 
others have pointed out, DAAs often give waivers. Openswan FIPS cert is
