It's pretty much unmaintained.

Every host it's installed on has to be properly tuned. Fine for large setups where finely tuned TCP stacks are the norm and maintaining your own ssh isn't much overhead, probably not fine for most setups where the 2MB buffer does the job. "To compute the BDP, we need to know the speed of the slowest link in the path and the Round Trip Time (RTT)". Do you know the slowest link in the path for everything you want to conceivably connect to?

The patches were an exercise in trying to max out high bandwidth connections using scp under ideal lab conditions, nothing more.
