"legacy" SCP protocol and SFTP

what I am not quite sure about is whether or not the scp command will still work as expected... (or is it JUST the protocol being used that's changing?)

Frequently I specify absolute paths to things to scp around and usually for good reason, such as copying things to an archive on another box.

Sure SFTP is fine too but it may not do exactly what I want. Or is it just the PROTOCOL that is changing>

Given the use of '-O' to keep any existing behaviors I hope nothing truly breaks.

And does this have any effect on rsync? Yeah I use THAT a lot, too.
