That level might be overkill given that any cipher not in the FIPS certfied
module mustn't be used, but it's also not the wrong place to put it IMHO.

I think this was a hypothetical scenario and not a concrete proposal.

I haven't yet started on that so feel free to take a stab at it, I'd be happy
to review it. Note that there are different API's for doing this in OpenSSL
1.0.2 and OpenSSL 3.x, so a solution must take both into consideration.
