Why not keep files where they are, have the entry in fmtutil.cnf
commented (as in teTeX upstream), and inform people in the documentation
of the texinfo package how to process russian text.
On the other hand, I think it might be a good thing if texinfo (upstream
of course) would provide commands to switch hyphenation patterns (and
maybe also hardcoded text like Chapter, Table of Contents etc.) for use
with a different language, without using a different format. But this
is a different issue.
