We released the OpenVPN 3 Linux v8 beta release early last week [0], with the

Fedora already has OpenVPN package, so you cannot add another one,
because when version 3.0 will be released by upstream, Fedora's package
will be updated and it will cause package conflict, which is strictly
forbidden by Fedora guidelines.
That's certainly how things typically works, but it's certainly
not the only one - see python3 for example.
In this case I believe that although the client is intended to be
protocol compatible with openvpn 2 it's basically an entirely new
program with a totally different architecture and user interface
so parallel packaging seems reasonable.
In addition I think that this is only the client, so the existing
package will still be needed for server usage for now. I'm not
totally sure about that though as the package is a little confusing
on that front - it calls itself a client but also has a -client
subpackage.
