This'd be nice. A news-worthy update in my opinion regardless.

Definitely not a "heads up" on the mailing list - that is not an
appropriate way to communicate anything to users - not even devs are
So I stumbled into Bug #733802, which now defaults the 'scp' USE flag to off

at least a "heads up" on the mailing list? Potential for some scripts to
break if scp suddenly goes missing after an openssh update.
