Could we rephrase this, to not live in the past. This will go into master and probably also release/2.4. I also doubt anyone using man pages on 2.3 would even read this. If there are Windows users on 2.3, there are no excuse not to upgrade - unless it's an enterprise deployment, where end users most likely would not even care (they should anyway complain to their IT department regardless, for using outdated security software). I would just rephrase it to say: OpenVPN GUI v11 and newer uses its own internal username/password storage independent of the --auth-user-pass file provided. The file argument is ignored on such installations.
