It does, and it matters a lot.  Mullvad breaks the OpenVPN protocol
with their server configs (they should never ever push "comp-lzo" 
settings to a client that is not signalling it's willingness to accept
them).

This is a common theme: VPN providers not understanding the evolution
in the OpenVPN world and doing things that might have made sense 5-10
years ago, but are no longer the correct thing to do - and of course,
not testing new OpenVPN client releases, and never talking to us.  Different
providers do *different* things in wrong ways, so knowing which provider
you have problems with is very important to us so we can reproduce,
understand and fix the problem.

(Or phrased differently: if you want support from the OpenVPN development
team, give us the details we need to know.  Otherwise, talk to the VPN
vendor you are paying for, and ask them why it's not working with them)
