This thread has strayed rather far afield from the original question, which was whether the OSM depiction of Crimea corresponds to the OSMF policy. It seems clear to me that it does not.
I would suggest that the depiction of Northern Cyprus does not correspond to the policy either. The actual physical control boundary is depicted at admin_level 3 or 4 rather than 2.
