I think it is down to individual server admins to make this call ..
If they have a policy which demands that passwords not be saved and
openvpn does not have a robust method to do so, what will they do ?

Is it possible to have --push "auth-nocache-override" which enables
client --auth-nocache and cannot be filtered out ?
