Hi,
i am new to GeoNames, so i am sorry if this topic is discussed before.
(i looked the messages of past couple of years, to be sure)

During working on a HyperSQL import, i have noiced that some ADM2 codes are just the names of the place.
As a software architect i think this redundancy is not a good idea.
Especially places with special/reserved characters in their names could be real problematic in some scenarios.
Why do those places not have codes like the rest of Russia?
(like RU.73.463834)

Thanks in advance and congratulations for the great job
