Yes but also as my time is limited I'm OK if anybody else does
the commit.  That means, my "Yes" does not mean "please nobody
touch this".

While at this, I think that this change should be mentioned in NEWS.

OK, so IIUC your goal is to provide Cyrillic to plain ASCII transliteration
according to GOST 7.79 System B standard, when the locale is set to C
(or any derivative, like C.UTF-8).  You don't want ISO 9 a.k.a. GOST 7.79
System A (Cyrillic to Latin extended) with a possible fallback to plain
ASCII and in many other locales because you consider this as a separate
task which may be done later, not in this release cycle.  Is that
correct?
