Yes, taschikowski is trying to ruin MB for most of us, I'd like it to be
written as tchaikovsky or tschaikowskij haven't made up my mind yet.. :-)
Seriously: Ruaok mentioned diggin into tagging by alias' and adding support
for transliterations as a intermediate solution (not Schema2) yesterday,
maybe he can give a timeline on when this should be possible - if it's not
in the next few weeks (say under one month, I'd suggest we rename all the
cyrillic artists that have a fair amount of international releases back to
the internation (english) transliteration which is currently used as the
sortname (clutcher2 said so that he corrected those from wikipedia). Maybe
we can change the rules and put the cyrillic name into the sortname field
for time being? (or if choose not to, we can always find the correct native
name if we dig the "edit artist name" moderations)
