The deleter feature in shared_ptr is very useful for raii with any kind of resource (variables, functions, objects, etc.). Having it in scoped_ptr will offer the same advantage for noncopyable pointers.
Thank you.
+1 from me too but I think the reason is that people wanted sizeof(scoped_ptr<T>) to be sizeof(T *) (or they don't want it to change)
A part solution could be a second template parameter but of course there can be no state.
