Sure. I'm aware of that. I'm only saying that having an option that
loads both patterns and keeps just one script for labels might make
sense.

That is a question for Serbians that also needs to take Babel in
account. For Polyglossia it probably doesn't make a difference at all
how they are called in language.dat; the important thing is to keep
Polyglossia and language.dat in sync.

We've chosen "serbian" for Latin script in 2008 just because
serbian.ldf was using Latin labels, but before 2008 "serbian" was in
fact loading the Cyrillic patterns (so the name is not really set in
stone). The best would be to have "serbianc" and "serbianl" for
example, but at the end it's irrelevant how they are called.
