openvpn 2.6 -> 2.7

Hello.

Foreword: I'm not complaining at all! This is just a asking for some 
comments.

I'm been using OpenVPN 2.6 heavily for a long time.
I see in main it was upgraded to 2.7, while in 2026Q2 there's still 
2.6.19, which is vulnerable (2.6.20 is out).

Unfortunately 2.7 breaks many of my configs and while I can easily 
upgrade some of them, for many others it will be hard and long to have 
the other side fixed.

Reading that 2.6 will be supported until half 2028, I'm evaluating 
staying with 2.6 a bit longer (while trying to avoid running vulnerable 
versions).

I'm wondering whether an openvpn26 (or openvpn-legacy or whatever) port 
would make sense.
I can probably easily downgrade 2.7 -> 2.6 and keep it updated in my 
local port tree, but maybe there are other people interested?

Any other comment?

  bye & Thanks
