Max,
If you believe IANA should depart from historical and existing policies with regards to delegations and removals of two-letter top- level domains, I would suggest you initiate an ICANN policy development process within the appropriate supporting organization (s). Until that time, IANA is pretty much constrained to follow existing policies despite the fact that some people might be making money registering names for a country that no longer exists.
Or, convince the people maintaining the iso list, to re-add SU as at least a reserved TLD, as the country code still seems to be used. Politically it's better to solve the problem there then try to have ICANN make an exception. Regards, Andre Koopal

My point is, we actually do have a policy here, and the SU operators are running their operation with deliberate disregard for it. If you don't like the policy, there are places to debate it, however since this isn't one of them, I think I'll leave it at that.
You also can take a look at official SU statistics, for example, previous month:

This domain grows even it have huge price ( http://www.nic.ru/en/index.html ). So people really need it.
