I can import a ".ovpn" file with the "Import a saved VPN configuration..." under the connection types when adding a new network connection. Does that not provide the intended functionality everyone is looking for? This bug may be resolved now

Rather than try to add support for every configuration option into the GUI, could the ability to use an existing .ovpn file be added instead? If the openvpn client adds more features, they could be used immediately without waiting for a GUI update and people with working .ovpn files could easily use the GUI to manage their connections.
