      The option persist-key is deprecated as of v. 2.7. It should only be included with Legacy client option set.

        It's only ignored, not a fatal error, so it's not critical to remove yet.

        They do not have a timeline for its removal, so there's no hurry to change it at the moment.

        We usually drop options to "legacy" when they cause a failure or otherwise have a negative impact. Leaving them in place as they are now increases the compatibility of the generated configuration files with a wider range of OpenVPN client versions.
