> The scp protocol is outdated, inflexible and not readily fixed. We recommend the use of more modern protocols like sftp and rsync for file transfer instead.

I'm not sure what the misunderstanding is here.. The above text says there are better protocols and recommends their use over scp, but doesn't say scp is being phased out or discontinued in the future.

On *ix things stay around for pretty long. You still have ed and ftp on Ubuntu 20.04!
