Backlog
RHEL includes openssl, nss, and gnutls/nettle crypto stacks. If at all possible, we should minimize or even remove libgcrypt, as it the least used and doesn't support FIPS.
The big one here is gnupg2, which is used throughout the stack for signature generation and verification; it will need to be replaced by sequoia packages in order for this to be possible.
Runtime deps: https://tiny.distro.builders/view-rpm--view-eln--libgcrypt.html
Build deps: https://tiny.distro.builders/view-rpm--view-eln--libgcrypt-devel.html
(It looks like a few packages have stale build deps on libgcrypt-devel that aren't needed anymore.
