In the "FedRAMP Policy for Cryptographic Module Selection and Use" (https://www.fedramp.gov/resources/documents/FedRAMP_Policy_f...), there are a ton of gems that make it clear that the FedRAMP folks are fed up with the CMVP process backlog. The most explicit is:
"FRR9: CSPs shall determine if updating to a newer version of the software, whether or not its cryptographic modules are FIPS validated, would eliminate the vulnerabilities; if it would, CSPs shall promptly update if that is feasible."
