Yes, but rcp doesn't take a "-q", so if I have my scripts call $RCP -q and
$RCP is set to rcp, it doesn't go.

This is the first response that I've seen from one of the
maintainers/developers on this matter, and it still doesn't address the
issue - are you going to consider taking out the progress bar or at least
making it default to off?  And if you aren't going to take it out, are you
going to consider putting in any of the other good patches to scp that
have been posted?

 that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
 were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"
