The script.php file is used to block installation on unsupported Joomla and PHP versions, and handled template overrides back in the day when the component was well written to support multiple versions of Joomla. Inexplicably this file was removed and there are no safeguards present from installing the hacky 4.0 version of the component on a 3.x site.

Agree, we should keep the script.php. This file has now been restored.

Not to mention, as is standard for all Joomla extensions using an install script, is the standardized mechanism for ensuring outdated files get removed from a site when updating the extension. Seems kind of sloppy to not be able to support an in-place upgrade.
