    Eli> Robert, do you remember why we included them in the script?

Hmm. Ignorance on my part seems the most likely explanation. VS1-14
are not used for emoji/text presentation selection, so we should
probably just fix blocks.awk

    Eli> As for VS17 and above, I'm not sure we should assign them to any

What problems are caused by them not having a script? The composition
rules for them with Han codepoints work now, no?
