Deprecating scp

The UNIX tradition is to read all the man pages from front to back and memorize it all.

That is harder nowadays, because there are a lot more with more pages each. But a reasonable selection of them deserve the old-school treatment. Rsync it probably one that does. Anyway, a curated selection of its options. (Eyes rolling? That's our world now.)

Instead of sitting and memorizing the whole collection, of an evening, why not bring home rsync(1), and memorize just that? What else would you do, look at your phone?
