I think fallback should be something that doesn't happen automatically,
at least at some point.

I mean the whole reason of getting rid of scp is mostly the security
issues, isn't it?


I wonder if an "new" scp could bring in some new features like --
interactive (not overwrite files without askin)... or if that would
break too much

Cheers,
