I talked about this with a Russian friend. He didn‘t even like that the ru_RU
locale has "дД"  and "нН" in the yesexpr and noexpr. He wrote:

> Especially funny is the fact, that the Cyrillic Н (нет=no) is usually on the same key as latin Y (yes=да) — so please never translate Y/N

In the ru_RU locale, "дД"  and "нН" have been there "forever" so I think I
should better not touch it. But adding it to all other *_RU locales might cause
more problems than it solves. 

Currently we have: 

mfabian@hathi:/local/mfabian/src/glibc/localedata/locales (master $%)
$ grep expr *_RU | glibc-locale-convert.py -u
ce_RU:yesexpr "^[+1yYДд]"
ce_RU:noexpr  "^[-0nNМм]"
cv_RU:yesexpr "^[+1yY]"
cv_RU:noexpr  "^[-0nN]"
mhr_RU:yesexpr "^[+1yYТт]"
mhr_RU:noexpr  "^[-0nNУу]"
os_RU:yesexpr "^[+1yYуУ]"
os_RU:noexpr  "^[-0nNнН]"
ru_RU:yesexpr "^[+1yYДд]"
ru_RU:noexpr  "^[-0nNНн]"
sah_RU:yesexpr "^[+1yYдДэЭ]"
sah_RU:noexpr "^[-0nNнНсС]"
tt_RU:yesexpr "^[+1yYәӘ]"
tt_RU:noexpr  "^[-0nNюЮ]"

Closing as WORKSFORME because I think the current state is OK until users of
these locales tell us otherwise.
