What do you think? Here's the advantages of 2.1:

- More features
- I use 2.1 exclusively, so if we switch to 2.1, someone would actively 
maintain and test openvpn (me)
- The "release candidates" are as stable as you would expect a final 
release, they always work great.

Should we switch to openvpn 2.1?
