You just beat me to typing this :-) - right now, our corporate VPN uses
--reneg-sec 28800, because corporate policy says "2FA sessions must be
reauthenticated every 8 hours".

So, with the auth token stuff (which I find immensely amazing :-) ), we
could renegotiate much more often, but then we'd violate policy - so
"generate tokens that are valid for <n> hours" would be a very helpful
addition here.
