[arch-general] Why do we have scapy and scapy3k and which do we keep?

Archdevs,

  Attempting a system update tonight, I was hit with:

# pacman -Syu
...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: scapy3k and scapy are in conflict

  They both seem to be similar, but which one do we keep? There was never a
conflict before. I removed scapy3k, then curiously on one machine, it then
proceeded to reinstall, along with scapy. I don't know how either were
originally installed, I'd never heard of the package before the conflict
popped up.

  Which should be keep? Or was this a packaging hiccup?
