Mirek, draft in the google document should be complete now, briefly reviewed by Tomas Mraz. It definitely needs some polishing from you guys. But is it possible to update it befora RHEL-7.3 GA? Unfortunately, I am not familiar with doc-Security_Guide deadlines and schedule.

Comment 3 Mirek Jahoda 2016-10-18 12:40:56 UTC

Thank you for the provided update of the FIPS chapter. I will do my best to incorporate it to the guide as soon as possible, but I am not able to promise it (100%) before GA (a lot of release notes to describe, the firewalld and audit chapters updates etc.).
