This was my thought as well, but SRV does have merits - especially
the priority thing is something you can't properly do with "traditional"
DNS entries (if you have multiple A/AAAA records, you just get load
sharing).
It's not a killer feature, as "most of it" could be achieved by having
remote openvpn-pri1.company.com
remote openvpn-pri2.company.com
remote openvpn-pri3.company.com
in your configs, and DNS/GeoDNS can steer this to the proper hosts -
but SRV makes it more convenient to the user (and much work for the
implementor... :) )
So - I wouldn't *implement* this myself, but if it were there, I'd
propably *use* it. Example: I have rolled out quite a number of
.ovpn client profiles that prefer TCP before UDP today. Given the
nice new tls-float feature, I'd actually love to have them try UDP
first... without rolling out new .ovpns...
