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.
its UI is not up to my personal standard
Have you tried https://organicmaps.app/? It has the same data source, but ui is cleaner.
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".
Yep, it is nicely reviewed here: https://github.com/opentofu/registry/pull/824
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...?
The main question is not about IPs, but about cloud providers configs. See more details here: https://github.com/opentofu/registry/pull/824
