Agreed. Let's see what happens in that project and take actions accordingly.
We also need to remember that a lot of curl users are very conservative so
it's not unthinkable that there will be a whole lot of users who will be
running OpenSSH servers with SCP support years after it first gets dropped
from the code. Given the discussion in the thread on their mailing list, the
cut-off point may still be a bit into the future, if at all.
