Yes. With DCO we currently discovering that the OpenVPN way of doing
things with MTU set to 1500, doing mssfix and hoping that this will
clamp everything to 1450-overhead, while working quite well has a lot of
problems compared to just setting a proper MTU in the first case.

Currently setting tun-mtu 1400 manually workaround these problems but we
need to figure out a good way to solve this MTU mess. The current
working idea is to allow MTU 1500 on receive but use a correct MTU on
receive and on the interface (at least on platforms where you can
receive larger packets than MTU).

But currently we are just on the "we are aware of it" stage. And too
busy with other things to actually tackle that too right now.
