Thank you very much for this testing!  This is truly a valuable feedback.

And you are right, this shouldn't be such a risky or invasive change at
all - as it should provide the needed fallback to not break existing
configurations; which you seem to have confirmed as well.

But I wanted to make this change visible in Fedora, both due to there
were complaints when updating to OpenVPN v2.4 which broke some
configurations (several reasons, I won't dive into that now) - and to
highlight that there is now a way to seamlessly update client
configurations one-by-one to a far better cipher for those still using
BF-CBC.
