I believe the suggestion is to drop the long-form Unicode script codes
currently used for the Script property in favor of 15924 codes exclusively.

Think of them as aliases.

Unicode properties have short and long names, so that it's possible to
communicate both accurately and understandably whenever there's no need
to be terse, and tersely when there's no confusion and long names would be
awkward.

Character codes and character names are a bit of the same thing, really.

I see no need to change that.
