Thanks, this is perfect.  (Not making any promises, but at least it's
there and won't be forgotten :) )

Well, it's different from typical "openvpn client" usage scenarios where
you connect to "your home network" or "your VPN provider", possibly even 
sending a full default route there - or a more tightly controlled
company-to-company VPN, which might not even use pushed routes but 
fully static configuration of IP addresses and routing (this is what I
use for my b2b VPN connections).  But as I said, I see your point, and
in that scenario such a filter makes sense - plus the potential to add
even more filters for other options.
