If you had the latter in mind, then I see no reason for a script to supply "yes" when it knows that Emacs needs "y". But we could, of course, extend y-or-n-p to accept "yes" and "no" when in batch mode. IOW, it's a separate issue, whose solution is not necessarily to make y-or-n-p work as yes-or-no-p.
