I agree. I also agree that the underlying problem should be fixed. That said, Ilya's message was sent to both openvpn-users and openvpn-devel and nobody has screamed "do not remove the Reconnect button" :). The only additional thing we can do is post a message to the forums. As usual, the only sure way to get feedback (read: complaints) is to release the changes in an official build/installer. -- Samuli Seppänen Community Manager OpenVPN Technologies, Inc irc freenode net: mattock
