crypto: FIPS 140-2 Certification?

I wanted to check if there were still no plans, and no possibility of getting the standard crypto libraries certified for FIPS 140-2.

@agl have your thoughts and plans changed since this comment #11658 (comment)?

There is explicitly no statement regarding FIPS 140-2 compliance, but you might find this branch interesting: https://github.com/golang/go/blob/dev.boringcrypto/README.boringcrypto.md

@FiloSottile Very interesting, thank you.

The status of FIPS 140 for Go itself remains "no plans, basically zero chance". The dev.boringcrypto branch is suggested as something of potential interest for those who care about such things.

Thanks for the update.
