the rationale behind this is based on an email thread on openvpn-users:

if I can set
   setenv opt UNSUPPORTED=1
in a client config, then why can't I push that from the server? it would allow 
an admin to do stuff like
   push "setenv opt register-dns"
which would apply only to the clients that support it (Windows) whereas no 
warnings are logged on other platforms. So it's more 
a way to suppress a warning message than anything else.  In theory you could 
also use "pull-filter" for this but that would 
require a change on all clients (and it won't work in 2.3 clients).

cheers,

JJK
