<p dir="ltr">Have the Russian changes become official? Last I heard, the bill was approved by the Russian Federation Council (9 July), but it still needed to be signed by the President. </p>

Past experience suggests that there may be a few internal glitches to be sorted through, and I would far prefer to handle them now, while not under pressure to get some low-lead-time rule change deployed in a hurry. We only deploy official tz releases, not informal repository snapshots.</div>
