I've put some ideas into http://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/769,
but it has not yet received much traction...

My idea was that the "rss/atom/..." feed has categories per OS, and 
winxp would then just be "on 2.3.x", forever.

It would be absolutely great to have.

I think the coding side is not that complicated (assuming some reasonable
parsing library exists on windows side), but the design of the "how do we
signal this to the client" needs great care, because this will stay with
us for a long time - so it needs to be easy to work with for Samuli,
reasonably easy to understand and extend, etc.
