Hi,

this is indeed on the lower side of some bigger users.

It is quite common to have hundreds of RW connections. >= 200 is not very rare.

Replacing them because of the MD5 change was troubling for them and that is why
I am stressing backwards-compatibility so much with the latest changes. It makes
the difference between OpenVPN being usable or making life a lot worse for the
admins.

Best,
-Michael
