Mentioned page lists Top Level Domains. But actual country codes
are listed by ISO 3166[*]. SU is missing from this list. This means
that SU is unassigned code and can be assigned in future.

This requires adding a hack to 'make hierarchy' functionality. Correctly,
remove exisitng /usr/share/{nls,locale}/ru_RU.* before execution of
mtree(1). Only in this case ru_RU locale should be setup correctly for
'make world' upgrades. Otherwise we'll have crossed symlinks between
ru_RU and ru_SU locale directories and broken world as result :-( I don't
think that purpose is worth such hacks. But if there're will be more
requests and no objections I'll do it.
