The SCEP RFC says that the other two PKIX standards for certificate management are superior to SCEP, which has deficiencies, and is quasi-deprecated.  Therefore my assumption is, that no one (other than cisco) plans to invest any effort in expanding SCEP support in Dogtag or any other opensource CA software.
We are actually planning on going through our existing SCEP 
functionality to see what else from the Internet Draft should be 
implemented in Dogtag 10.1.  In addition, we have a few smaller tickets 
related to SCEP in our Trac instance that we plan to look at (details at 
https://fedorahosted.org/pki/).

We are not sure that we will be targeting "CA Key Rollover" specifically 
any time soon, as we want to see if there are more common SCEP use cases 
that should be targeted first.  Is it specifically "CA Key Rollover" you 
are interested in using, or is there anything else from the SCEP 
Internet Draft that you have a use case for as well?
