Not a lawyer, but isn't this under the same guidelines as decided by the TSC? no Russian use or access?

Again heavy emphasis on "TSC" as the role.

In TSC I see IP block is mentioned? What do you mean by "Russian" access? From Russia? By people with Russian passport? By employees of Russian company? What if I live in Kazahstan and want to use Yandex.Cloud datacenter located there: https://yandex.cloud/en/docs/troubleshooting/business/how-to...?

It's not that complex, unless you want it to be.

Russian geological access or businesses with strong ties to Russia or suspected strong ties to Russia. Every other detail is to be decided by the governing body of the project, which in this case has happened.

Sorry, but I still don't see a point in your message, how it is related to cloud config files that are in the repo. Open-source projects are not even covered by export control: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/resources/publications/under... If it is some voluntary decision by "governing body of the project" to remove config files that have nothing to do with IP-filtering to access, than it is exactly what I mention as "unreasonably explain by sanctions".
