Given that you title it RFC, I guess it hasn't been discussed before. I personally don't see much benefit from the move/rename. The tree is not so large, the SCM import/export utilities are a single file each and their names are quite clear. Having /contrib is more an issue of marking utilities there as 'new, experimental, unsupported', and the assumption is that when something matures it moves out of /contrib.

So I have to ask... what are the expected benefits of the move?

In any case, use /interop instead. /scm in the tree of an SCM could be anything ;-)
