Expelled. Removed.

Maybe you missed a key nuance. Russians were not expelled. It was
maintainers who are working for sanctioned entities.

The thing is in the list of "sanctioned entities". If part of the list is *.fsb.ru or *.<somecompany>.ru than that is likely a well defined list but if the list is *.ru then that rejects everybody. In a quick look I could not find a good list or description of what "entities" were sanctioned, where "entity" was not a person. 10 minutes of googling/duck-ducking is not an exhaustive search so I will not claim any great certainty in findings.
