Because the old SCSI module is now used for EVERYTHING (IDE/SATA/USB/SCSI/CD-RW), I believe it will be renamed... what do you think of this kind of evolution ?
It is the stated goal of the libata (SATA/PATA/ATAPI) developers to extract themselves back out of the SCSI subsystem. The trouble is it may be a year or two or more before they actually do it. They have at least once mentioned changing to /dev/diskX at some point. FIrewire and USB OTOH actually use the SCSI protocol natively. They just use a different media (ie. different cable, etc.) to carry the protocol, so they will likely always be part of SCSI.
