Why no Cyrillic?

Not being able to type in Cyrillic would be preposterous, but that's not what we're talking about.

In my experience (as a programmer), each party speaks as if they are 
talking to a peer and the other side is forced to learn enough jargon 
necessary to communicate. It is for this reason that i was so surprised 
by the lack of Cyrillic on this list (i started this whole conversation).

 For me this all comes back to being an engineer. I would rather spend 1 
week learning the Cyrillic alphabet in order to read my source material 
in the most precise representation than read a transliterated version. 
This is all secondary to the technical hurdles, which is really too bad. 
Let me apologize for all the programmers of the world who completely 
ignore non-english language requirements. :)
