If the idea is interesting it does imply that each person having scripts

Nope. It means that once /usr/bin/yum become symlink (or wrapper) to dnf, then 
either:
1) nothing will change because dnf is mostly compatible will yum. I would say this will be behavior for majority of existing scripts.
2) your script use some corner case of yum and will become broken. And you 
either
   a) migrate immediately to DNF
b) you (the-sysadmin) are lazy and put it on back-burner and do s/yum/yum-legacy/ and you have to do that work from a) anyway one year later.
