If you are currently using something else (say salted md5 or even just plain md5), you can migrate your passwords to scrpyt(current_hash()) without having to change everyone's password and/or wait for everyone to log in.

There are user experience battles when talking about forcing a million users to change their passwords in a real system. Hashing the hash may be vastly preferable to management nixing the security upgrade. A password updating schema that changes the hash as users login and eventually locking the accounts of users who have not logged in for an extended period of time can accomplish rolling the hashes without having to tell users to change their passwords.

In order to be able to tell people to "just use scrypt", we would need to have a sort of standard wrapper that uses the correct parameters by default and produces identical results in every common programming language.
