[cp v5.97] --noreply erroneously depreciated

I use cp --noreply=no to unconditional keep existing files. Now that
it's depreciated, I see no equivalent option.

The suggested alternatives don't work:

   -i is interactive and I'm creating a non-interactive command
   -f has the opposite effect: it unconditionally overwrites the
destination file
   -u will conditionally overwrite the destination file

and there is no -k to unconditionally keep the destination file.
