I think that scp is only "obsolete and historical" from the standpoint 
that functionality isn't being altered nor are new features getting 
added (ala the don't-follow-symlinks flag).  scp should act like rcp - 
with all of its flaws and quirks - and any new design features and 
ideas are for sftp. I can't imagine that scp is going to be removed or 
obsoleted any time in the near future.
