If these are the huge traced cm supers I'd rather not have them in the
minimals but as extra as they consume a log of space.
If it's just cyrillic .. maybe it's more interesting to use fallbacks,
given that we have a cyrillic only variant available for that (there are
type ones as we have support for the t2* encodings in mkii).
Btw, one of the reasons why lm/gyre have no cyrillic (or had cyrilic
removed) is that in spit of all efforts to locate people, no one is
willing to check them and do some quality control. It has been discussed
before: if there is a group of volunteers the glyphs might show up again
in the fonts.
