AC1) fips-mode-setup and fips-finish-install , along with their manpages, are no longer shipped with RHEL AC2) No other manpages in the crypto-policies package reference or use fips-mode-setup or fips-finish-install AC3) Changes are announced on rhel-devel or rhel-planning lists AC4) Test tool depending on fips-mode-setup are updated not to rely on it AC5) Issue for docs team is created to update any RHEL-10 documentation mentioning fips-mode-setup.

Description (describe the discontinued feature): The `fips-mode-setup` command that could be used to switch systems to FIPS mode after installation has been removed. Consequence (describe the recommended replacement, if applicable): Switching to FIPS mode is no longer supported after installation. To switch systems to FIPS mode, 1. add `fips=1` to the kernel command line of the installer 2. use Image Builder with   ```   [customizations]   fips = true   ```   to build a FIPS-enabled image 3. use Image Mode and add the `fips=1` kernel command line flag in your container file:   ```   FROM registry.redhat.io/rhel9/rhel-bootc:latest   # Enable fips=1 kernel argument: https://containers.github.io/bootc/building/kernel-arguments.html   COPY 01-fips.toml /usr/lib/bootc/kargs.d/   # Enable the FIPS crypto policy   # crypto-policies-scripts is not installed by default in RHEL-10   RUN dnf install -y crypto-policies-scripts && update-crypto-policies --no-reload --set FIPS   ``` Disabling FIPS mode is not supported. To disable FIPS mode, re-install without enabling FIPS mode.
