No, I think it is more like the default installation of Linux being
FreeBSD, unless you specifically choose linux.

I have no problem with this change, and it doesn't bother me a bit that I
need to purposely turn on scp support in scponly.  I just think it is
rather odd that "scponly" now does not support scp by default.

I am happy that there is a new version.  I like the tool very much and
thank the author.
