As a native Russian speaker I can explain why we need to keep this two rules.
'Ё' letter is not 'E' with some accent/diacritic sign, it is a separate letter
in russian alphabet. But a lot of newpapers, magazines and even books use 'Е'
instead of 'Ё' to simplify printing house work. Any Russian speaker doesn't make
a mistake while reading because 'Ё' isn't frequent and anybody remembers the
right pronounce. Also, on russian keyboard 'Ё' placed in inconvenient place (key
with ` or ~), so, many russian writer use 'Е' instead of it to increase typing
speed.
Pls, do not remove at least this special case.
