The thing is that there is an ongoing conflict between owners of Organic Maps OU itself. Due to ownership structure this leads to block of development etc for a long time already, so some existing contributors (that are not a part of OM OU business entity) started a fork.
Sorry, but I still don't see a point in your message, how it is related to cloud config files that are in the repo.
Open-source projects are not even covered by export control: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/resources/publications/under...
If it is some voluntary decision by "governing body of the project" to remove config files that have nothing to do with IP-filtering to access, than it is exactly what I mention as "unreasonably explain by sanctions".
In TSC I see IP block is mentioned?
What do you mean by "Russian" access? From Russia? By people with Russian passport? By employees of Russian company? What if I live in Kazahstan and want to use Yandex.Cloud datacenter located there: https://yandex.cloud/en/docs/troubleshooting/business/how-to...?
